News flash: July 4th is in TWO days. Say whaaaa??  I can’t believe it’s the month of July already.  I seriously need to figure out a way to slow down time.  I’ll get right on that 🙂

I hope everyone gets to have some time to relax and spend some down time with friends and family this Independence Day.  I also know that this holiday, just like every other holiday, requires an abundance of food to celebrate, so I am giving you some great ideas to help you out:
