Grad season recipes

Graduation season is coming up and you may be hosting a newly graduate or going to a pot luck. These recipes are also perfect for picnics (which are our favorite in the summer). I am going to continually add to this post so keep looking back for new recipes!

First, this recipe I had for the first time last year at Callie's friend's retirement party and I fell in love right there. I even grabbed a red solo cup and filled that with the grape salad to go, because it is THAT good.

Grape Salad
Ingredients:
1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
1 cup ( 8 oz) sour cream
1/3 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 lbs seedless red grapes
2 lbs seedless green grapes
3 Tbsp brown sugar
3 Tbsp chopped pecans

Directions:
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, sour cream, sugar and vanilla until smooth
Add grapes and toss to coat
Transfer to a serving bowl.
Cover and refrigerate until serving
Sprinkle with brown sugar and pecans right before serving
