Food for the 4th

One of the most important ways to celebrate being an American is EATING A LOT OF FOOD! (obesity epidemic--cough-cough).


Here are some recipes I am considering for the 4th of July celebration I'm attending...

CHORIZO AND TOMATO SALAD / BBQ CHICKEN QUINOA SALAD

AVOCADO BRUSCHETTA

CHILI LIME GRILLED CORN

PORTOBELLO BURGER / GRILLED TOMATO BRUSCHETTA

SEARED TUNA STEAKS

LEMON MERINGUE PIE / RED VELVET BROWNIES

More of Independence Day Pictures

Nothing like a can of PBR and a bearded man by your side to instantly turn you into a hipster!

Can't get enough of the cake... And Maddie captured the baking process on camera! Look at all of her incredible cake photographs here.

As you can see, I had a fantastic weekend. There's nothing like constant sunshine, good friends, and getting crafty. I think there will be more photos to share soon!!!
