James and I decided it would be fun to invite a bunch of friends over for a backyard party this summer. A lot of friends got to see our house who hadn't before, and everyone had a great time just hanging out. We got pretty lucky with the weather, except when a big storm came in around 9. Everyone moved inside and we continued the party until late into the night!
I designed an invitation for the party (seen above), food signs, and decorated to match the theme of the invitation. I spent the day before the party cooking lots of food for everyone to enjoy. We decided to go with a "taco bar" for dinner, so we wouldn't have to spend the time during our party grilling. We wanted to enjoy our friends' company and just be able to have fun, too!
Then came the meats: Ginger Hoison Pork, Tikka Masala Chicken, and Mexican Barbacoa Beef. The pork was the favorite of the evening.
We had cilantro, red onion, tomato, green onion, and field greens for toppings. Then lots of sauce options: My homemade guacamole, mom's famous pico de gallo salsa, a homemade indiana corn salsa, salsa verde, mango-peach salsa, and Sriracha for those who wanted a spicier taco.
I'll post recipes soon for the meats, guacamole, and salsas.
