Steeplechase Tailgating!

Horse races are so much fun! The day is filled with galloping horses, new Spring dresses, and good friends. But truly it’s a big old Southern tailgating party complete with savory dishes, delicious sweets, and drinks!

Today I’m sharing our Race Day Menu!

Cindy’s Chicken Salad recipe is always a hit!

Yes, there is a real live Cindy. She is one of my dearest friends and I love her forever for sharing this 5 ingredient chicken salad recipe with me. I promise to share it with you soon! Click here for the recipe for Cindy’s Chicken Salad!

Sweet and Tangy Chicken Salad {3littlegreenwoods}

Cheddar Pecan Cheese Ring with Strawberry Preserves is served with a variety of crackers. Allowing the cheese ring come to room temperature before serving will make this appetizer easy to spread.

The party wouldn’t be complete without a little bit of sweets.

Cherry Fluff with gingersnap cookies it my favorite Race Day treat.

But Honey loves my cake balls!Steeplechase Tailgating Menu with 3 Little Greenwoods {3littlegreenwoods.com}

No, the cake balls aren’t chocolate like the menu promised. These are butter cake balls with vanilla almond bark covering them. Our friends fight over them they are so good!

Oh! We can’t forget the drink of the day! Spiked Peach Tea from The Blond Cook.  The two cups of peach nectar gives it sweetness and the whiskey kicks it up a notch!

These dishes were just a small amount of the food we enjoyed while we watched the horses race. It was a warm and wonderful day spent with good friends. I can’t wait to share pictures of the races with you!

                       Your comments totally make my day! They give me huge motivation to                    keep creating and having fun with my 3 Little Greenwoods!

      Thank you so much Diane! Setting the table with all that color and pattern made me so happy. I’m thinking some of those elements might find themselves on my Easter dinner table. 😉
