Bucks Food Calendar: August 15, 2016

Liberty Hall Pizza

Happy Monday! Let’s hope that the heat wave ends soon so that we can step outside without instantly being drenched in sweat.

They say one way to beat the heat is to continuously drink water. I think that’s boring, so I spike my water with fresh fruit and herbs. Pick up some peaches, berries or melons at local farmers markets, cut them up and plop them into your ice water for added flavor. Then grab your bottle and prepare for another full week of foodie events and more in Bucks County!
