Fourth of July Fun

Fourth of July Fun

I typically don’t do a lot for the Fourth of July, since my son’s birthday is just a few days later and I usually spend the holiday time frantically preparing getting everything ready for his party.

And since we had to eat breakfast anyway, I decided to make these strawberry and blueberry star scones:

And, simply using red and blue food coloring, these fun pancakes:

Also, since two boy scouts live on our cul-de-sac and we buy popcorn by the ton, I made this to take to my in-laws house:

Have a wonderful holiday!  And, to all of the service men and women out there, thank you for keeping this country the land of the free and the home of the brave.

10 EASY SLOW COOKER MEALS RECIPE BOOK

Hello There!

Interestingly enough, I didn’t grow up with an interest in cooking.  In fact, I informed my mother on multiple occasions that I was not getting an advanced education so I could spend my evenings preparing meals.
