July 4th for Foodies


There are so many things I LOVE about summer. One of them is grilling out and gathering. Last year was a dud for all of that, so this year, I thought I'd go all out and help y'all out. I've been collecting recipes for all things Independence Day! Y'all ready for this?!


If your family is anything like mine, we live on the lake and by the water every chance we get. And there is ALWAYS food! ALWAYS! Whether it's breakfast, lunch, snacks, dinner or desserts, there is always food around. Here are a few I'd love to see on the spread!

Happy Feasting,


Lauren
