Who doesn’t love a party! And, virtual parties with foodies, all crazed and excited about recipes, are the best kind out there. Why? Because you get to drool over the artistry of home cooks. You get to sneak into their kitchens and see what’s going on. Annnnnnd, in this case, you’ll see that my foodie peeps are blogging about the 2016 Rose Parade and ‘Live on Green’!

I’m making eight recipes at Live on Green…this is the festival in Pasadena on Green Street held a few days before the epic and historic Rose Parade. Not only am I making these recipes, but lots of foodies have signed on to make them, too! You don’t want to miss out on them because these foodies are the Crème de la Crème in my book of food bloggers.

So, swing by and see how each has put their own special magic touch on these eight recipes. And, be sure to leave a happy comment and let them know you were there. Your comments are what keep us motivated! xoxo ~peace & namaste~ ally
