4th of July Fun


HAPPY 4TH of July Everyone!
In the truest sense, freedom cannot be bestowed; it must be achieved.
~ Franklin D. Roosevelt
Today I am so thankful for our freedom, and that only comes because of all of our men and woman who fight so hard for our country! I love that we have the freedom to celebrate today with family and friends! Lolo and I were put in charge of the food for the day, while the rest of the family did some work on the farm. We came up with a menu, and also got the shopping taken care of. It’s so much fun to go on a shopping trip with your best friend, just saying ;). The night before, I marinated all the meat (chicken and steak), and Lola made rice crispy treats. I was really excited about the marinate because it smelled so good!!!


Then the morning of the 4th , we both got right to work! We made breakfast, picked blueberries, cut up all the veggies (pineapple, zucchini, squash, onion, garlic, mushrooms, and bell pepper), and then we started assembling all the kabobs. We did steak, kielbasa, and chicken kabobs, and then marinated some of the veggies in olive oil and salt and pepper to just grill up. Now that the prep work was all done we headed out to the pool to have some fun! We wasted no time to get in the pool and relax after a busy morning. All our hard work definitely paid off when it came to dinner time! Everything was so delicious that after dinner everyone was content and just lounged around to let all the food settle in.

 Over all it was a great day filled with work, friends, fun memories, and a lot of food ;)  

Now it is time to get ready to have some fun celebrating Lolo's birthday!!!!

With a pinch of love,
Lil' Chef
