The Austin Food Blogger Alliance recently held our first social event as an official alliance with our very own members! Potlucks are how the food blogger community in Austin first came together, so it was only fitting to carry on the tradition as our first member event. This potluck was unique, as members were asked to make a dish using ingredients from a local farmer’s market. Our foodie blogger family set high stakes for future potlucks, bringing delightful treats made of local bounty such as gluten free and vegan beet hummus, shredded beet salad, tuna lettuce wraps, incredible cupcakes, strawberry-rhubarb pie, zucchini ricotta cheesecake, homemade oreos, basil lemonade, purple potato salad, and…the mystery of the day, incredible homemade basil/vanilla and lavender ice creams– the chef is still unidentified. (If you are the maker of that popular potluck delight, please come forward so we can give you credit!) Take a look at a few photos we snapped between snacking and schmoozing…
Members, feel free to post your recipes as comments to this post. Thanks for potluck-ing. Until next time…
