Happy Birthday America!!!
We would traditionally have a huge 4th of July Celebration with our family and friends complete with a cookout, homemade ice cream, sprinklers and water balloons, and finish the evening with a firework display!
This year is a little different, we will still be cooking out just on a smaller scale and we will be watching the Macy’s fourth of July Fireworks celebration on the TV.
Enjoying a nice here at the house, it will be a good day!!!
I do want to share a recipe with you though before I go fire up the grill🔥
