At the Farmer's Market: Mouthwatering Desserts!

Labor Day weekend is right around the corner, and farmer's market and local farm stands are overflowing with fresh produce. That creates a "perfect storm" situation--use the long weekend as an excuse to entertain family and friends, and use some of that gorgeous, mouth-watering fresh fruit to make a dessert for your get-together!

Inspired by the fruit prints in our latest Farmer John collection, we've compiled a to-do list of desserts ideas from around the web for you. Let us know if you try one--each looks better than the previous one and we'd like to make one of each!

Super Bowl Party Ideas

The big game--the Super Bowl--is on Sunday, and even if you're not a football fan, it's a fantastic excuse to invite some friends over. Between the game, the commercials, and the food, there's something for everyone! 

First, we love this food stadium:

A guacamole field surrounded by "stands" filled with pigs in a blanket, chips, sub sandwiches..so fun! In fact, food stadiums seem to be the year's big trend. We've got about 5 different versions pinned on our Super Bowl Pinterest Board.

This is healthy and fits nicely with the day's theme:

Or check out this printable, with fun bets on the game, such as what color gatorade will be dumped on the winning coach and what song Red Hot Chili Peppers will sing first.

Be sure to check out our Super Bowl Party Ideas board on Pinterest for more recipes and decorating ideas. 

And, if the Super Bowl is just really not your thing, be sure to check out this site--a completely party guide for hosting a super-feminine, non-football-themed party during the big game!

Whether you're a fan of the Broncos, Seahawks, or just the commercials, enjoy the great American tradition of Super Bowl Sunday!
