Labor Day is almost here folks, and what better way to celebrate the occasion with a glass of bubbly? Did you know that Anthony Bourdain says that champagne pairs best with barbecue? It’s totally true, and I don’t know about you, but I prefer prosecco over champagne for financial reasons…like Mionetto Prosecco, which you can find just about basically everywhere, or even order online!
They recently shared these awesome recipes with me, and of course, I had to pay it forward and share them with you too – they’re just too good to keep to myself!
