Author Notes: I have mentioned "the daughter" in my posts before. She is responsible for dragging us into the world of competitive equestriennes. Not a place for the weak of heart! But what friends we have made.
This is the walking taco for after a hot afternoon of riding horses and the good thing--you can share with friends. When her dad asked if she wanted him to make her one of her own--"No thanks, I'll just eat off yours!"
Summer food made to share. This is great because the only ingredient you need to keep warm is the beef. We use a crock pot and then everyone helps themselves to their condiment(s) of choice. This isn't "gourmet" or foodie...but somehow it is the 2nd most popular item on the menu at the horse show. - lorigoldsby

Kitty was a 3 day Eventer...Friday dressage...6 minutes, Saturday cross country... 8 minutes, Sunday stadium jumping...90 seconds of pure adrenaline, and a whole lot of standing, walking and waiting. If you still ride, maybe you can share this with your barn buddies.

Thanks B! I like that they add color and texture and the vegetarians in our group like that they add a complete protein!

My southern chicken salad on a croissant. Trying to post that recipe but I can't get the server to come up yet.

Yes, not exotic but tasty. When its hot outside, a cold salsa is so refreshing!

Love the flavors (what's not to like, yum), one question: boat?
almost 2 years ago lorigoldsby
Haha! funny we always call them "boats"! My husband will say, "hand me a boat" and i know what he wants...but it is the 3 # food containers that you buy at the wholesale clubs--very handy. They come in boxes of 500 but we use them for picnics and cookouts and when we run the hospitality center at the horse shows.
