So tomorrow night, June 30, I am going to be part of GNO (which stands for Girls Night Out) party on twitter from 7-9 pm (MST). The topic for the party is summer cooking and it is sponsored by Bush’s Beans. The 4th of July is this coming weekend and I am sure we could all use some fun ideas. I think they are also going to do a giveaway. Here is how to join me for GNO tonight on twitter . Should be fun!!!!! Pop on over to the link and make sure your RSVP. You don’t have to stay for the whole party either just drop in when you can. You can also leave when ever you need to. And to kick of the party, I am sharing a Summer Bean Salad recipe that originally comes from the Reluctant Entertainer.
I made a few adaptions to the original recipe. This last weekend I went to the EVO conference (Evolution of Women in Social Media). Igot to meet the Ruluctant Entertainer along with many other great bloggers. I will be sharing more about the conference in Thursday’s post.
Bush’s was also a sponsor of the EVO Conference. So, I got to meet a lot of the Bush’s people too. They also served this Summer Bean salad at the conferences dinner for the closing party. They were all so nice. Some of them will also be a part of the GNO party tonight. So stop on by and enjoy the fun. I hope to see some of you there!
