It’s the last weekend of September, so I had to do it up right with my Weekend Shenanigans! This weekend was full of delicious beer, food and fun with friends!
Warning: Food Porn Ahead!
I kicked off the weekend with Laura and happy hour at Saturn! The orange drink is called the Rocket Booster and it had things like honeysuckle vodka and Tang in it. Needless to say, adult slushies are awesome.
The second drink I had was called the Spacehive but it was way too strong tasting for me. When I order a cocktail, I don’t want to really taste the alcohol and that is all I could taste in mine. Same with Laura’s second. If you like strong tasting drinks, then their regular cocktails are for you!
Friday evening Chris and I had Moe’s BBQ for dinner and were excited that all of our shows are coming back on! We had a night in front of the TV and it was relaxing and just what I needed!!!
Saturday morning I headed up to my sister’s house to pick her and the boys up so we could go visit my dad. His birthday was this past week and he had to have surgery this week as well, so I was glad we were able to fit in some time to see him. His fire department was out raising money at a community eventย so we spent some time with him there.
When I got back home, Chris and I headed to World of Beer for a little bit to catch the Alabama game. I tried the Cheeky Cherry cider from Woodchuck, and of course Tavern Taters were ordered.
Saturday evening, we stocked the fridge with our fall favorites and ย Chris and his friend Jay streamed TomorrowWorld in our basement while I finished up reading Rebel and caught most of the Auburn game. All whilst we snacked on seven layer dip.
Sunday was Breakin’ Bread! It is an annual foodie event every year in Birmingham. Proceeds go to Camp Smile-a-Mile, so you can enjoy all the foods knowing it is for a good cause. Plus, we always go with Laura and B so we know it is going to be a good time!
The event was held at Sloss Furnaces this year. The venue was pretty cool, it is an old factory here in Birmingham that still stands today and is used for things like this event, music festivals and beer festivals. You can even rent the space out for weddings too.
It was crowded!!! So many more people this year than last year!
Here are all of the delicious eats!!!
I got to try Chicken and Waffles for the first time, there was a lamb and feta cheese ball up there, asian style chicken dumplings, a quesadilla with thai peanut sauce, all kinds of meats and cheeses, pork stuffed cornbread, Fatso Bread Pudding (made with a chocolate stout), filet steak wraps, apple fritters, crawfish pasta, korean chicken, pizza and so much more!!
J Clyde had their Fire Truck there that has kegs and taps! So cool!!!
Even though it was rainy when we first got there, it quit after a few minutes and the weather was perfect! It was cloudy and in the 70’s with a cool breeze every now and then. It really felt like fall and I loved it! The food was fantastic, and the company even better.
I had a great weekend, and I hope you did too!!! Time to buckle back down for reality this week and welcome in October!!!
Linking up with Biana.

Good lord that all looks so good! We went to a beer fest this weekend and they had good food, but nothing like that! I’m loving all the seasonal beers right now. Happy Monday!
The food sounds good, but I’m eyeballing the drinks! Cherry cider? Yummm… I’ve been “indulging” myself a bit too much lately in the alcohol department and this isn’t helping!
Adult slushies are my very favorite types of drinks. I’m the same way with cocktails! And oh my world, the food. I’m really eyeballing those taters, they look delicious!
I cant even deal with the deliciousness that is those tater tots!! I seriously can’t focus on anything else!! So much good food! xo, Biana –BlovedBoston
We had tooooi much fun yesterday!!! And yes, I think I’m just going to stick with the adult slushies at that place. Hellz no to that tequila drink!! Maybe they’ll have that cherry cider at our tasting?!?
Oh those Tater Tot’s look so good!! Who doesn’t love Adult slushies??? Sounds like you had a fab weekend.
So when can we meet for you to take me to all these wonderful places you go to for food. Seriously, your posts are the foodiest!
I love all the cool things you did this weekend. These are my fav weekends to celebrate. Filled with food and local fun.
Wow, these food pics are out of control! That slushy sounds SO amazing, and I’m jealous of your amazing cider line-up. How did you feel about the game? T is nervous about how they’re going to do next week!
Those tots look delicious! Definitely wish I were eating some right now haha!

Oh my gosh so much yummy food! You always make me so hungry on Monday mornings!
All the food! Food festivals are my favorite kind, I’m super jealous.
Ahhhh success!!! I need that fire truck to hide me down cause I’m getting too excited thinking about all that food!! I know it would be glorious and I knew Bama would smoke em’!! Have a magnificent Monday!! ๐
Oh my gosh…. ALL THE FOOD!!! I think I just gained weight looking at it
Such an awesome weekend filled with amazing food and drinks and YES to chicken and waffles and a drink that has Tang in it – total win ๐

I’ve never had chicken and waffles either! I always say the next place I go that has it I’ll order it, but then I end up finding something else on the menu I want instead. I really need to try it! Also, if there is bread pudding somewhere, it is going to be consumed by me. And I’m with you on cocktails…I don’t want it to taste like I’m sipping straight alcohol on the rocks!
I love Tang and I always will. I don’t care how processed it is.
Sunday’s event looks really fun!
i love it when outdoor events get the best weather!! so happy that things cleared up for you and that it really did feel like fall.
So now I really want to repurpose an old fire truck into a bar. Kegs and taps in it?! So cool! We have a school bus that comes to some of the tailgates at my school that has one tap out the back, but I think several are necessary. Looks like an awesome and yummy weekend!
Your beer fridge picture made me smile. Our entire bottom shelf with our fridge is beer. I wish I was kidding. I basically have a half functioning fridge and we don’t even drink that much. We are always ready when company comes over though ๐
And THAT is how you eat on the weekends. Bravo to you. That all looks insanely good.
What a fun little festival!! ๐ That’s one of my fave ways to spend a weekend! And tavern taters…. sign me up!
1. Your boobs look great in all your pics. Haha! 2. You should create a food porn warning and paste it into your header because I feel like ALL your pics make my mouth water always, lol! You definitely eat some delicious things!
The Breakin Bread festival sounds like so much fun and lots of great small plates. I love chicken and waffles!
Omgggg, all of the food! Especially those tater tots!!! Thank goodness dinner is soon ๐ Sounds like it was a great weekend!
Oh my gosh… that orange slushy… HOLY yum! It sounds AMAZING!
Saturday looks/sounds like it was a blast!!! THE FOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!
The cheeky cherry sounds really good. Oh man so much good food. What a fun event!
sounds like a tasty, busy weekend!! it was rainy city over here.
adult slushies are always welcome! seriously that looks amazeballs.
