It is all in the name….

It was a late summer Friday, just before the chill of fall was about to hit. I was sitting on our back deck. Jean shorts, a huge messy bun, and a margarita in my hand when I mentioned to my husband Matt, that this is all I ever really need.

He chuckled saying, “Messy Buns & Margaritas”

Thus the birth of Messy Buns and Margaritas! So welcome to this Drinks & Finger Foods blog! I hope you find fun recipes that you enjoy!
