Are you a fan of Arrested Development? We LOVE that show! We watched all the episodes back in the day, we own the whole set on DVD, and are in the process of re-watching them all right now. Do you know why? Because a new season is coming out on Netflix!! The new season starts on Sunday May 26th, and I am so excited!
Turns out, I am not the only food blogger excited about the new season either. Brandy and Rebecca got a group of us together for this special event. Today we are all sharing food inspired by some of our favorite Arrested Development episodes. This goes way beyond just bananas and cornballs, so get excited! Plus, check out this awesome poster that Brandy’s brother put together for us!
If I could have found away to incorporate “never-nude” or Mr. Manager into a food post I would have. Instead I went with something blue. My husband and I love the episode where Tobias is trying to be a part of the Blue Man group. We laughed so hard when we watched it. We aren’t quite to that episode yet while re-watching them, but I can’t wait to see it again.
This Blue Vodka Lemonade is super simple, and barely a recipe. I used a blue liquor, really any kind will do, and mixed it with lemonade. For a deep blue color you can add a drop or two of blue food coloring. These would be great for a party, you can just make a big pitcher and have them ready in the fridge. Have a glass ready on Sunday night so you can watch the new season of Arrested Development!
I created a fun group on Facebook, and I would love for you to join us! It’s a place where you can share YOUR favorite recipes, ask questions, and see what’s new at Dinners, and Desserts (so that you never miss a new recipe)! If you’d like to check it out, you can request to join HERE.

May 24, 2013 at 5:48 amI’m afraid I just blue myself on what was supposed to be a dry run and now I hav e a bit of a mess on my hands!
There has GOT to be a better way to say that.

May 24, 2013 at 8:44 amTrue story: a few days ago it was so hot in Sacramento that my denim shorts appeared to be grafted to my body. I thought I was going to be a nevernude forever! Spoiler alert: I will not be a nevernude forever. However, I will always love Tobias. And this lemonade!

Renee @ Awesome on $20 says
May 25, 2013 at 3:53 pmWe love Arrested Devlopment, too. I’m glad I’m not the only one who feels the need to rewatch every episode before the new ones. It’s been so fun. I’ll definitely have a blue cocktail and raise my glass to Tobias Funke.
Erin S says

June 2, 2013 at 8:16 amNever seen the show, but have been tempted to start with so much buzz about its return. Making a few of these while watching cant hurt either. Cheers!
