I love when Tuesdays are really Friday. I could get used to this schedule: work 2 days, 1 day off, work 2 more days, weekend. Why is this not the normal schedule already?
I don’t know what you have planned for the 4th of July, but I hope it involves time with family, friends, and some good food.
Right now, I’m thinking my day will be filled with NO alarm clocks, a morning run, early blueberry picking, maybe watching a friend’s band play, a possible lunch cookout with pals, and a huge firework show in town to end the night.
This just means I’ll probably be sunburnt, way too full, and super exhausted on Thursday morning. Fun!
We’re not having a cookout of our own so I don’t have to menu plan at all, but I may whip up something to take with us – cookies are patriotic, right?
Holiday week or just good summer weather, these are some of our favorite recipes right now – make ‘em while you can!
Chicken Spiedies with Farmhouse Bread
Spiced Chicken Kabobs and Chickpea Salad
Burgers with Avocado and Cilantro Mayo
Pepperoni Pizza with a super easy and fast crust

Desserts:
Frozen Chocolate Dipped Cookie Dough
Whole Wheat Coconut Chocolate Chip Cookie Cake

Those strawberry feta skewers look perfect. I love 4th of July, it’s like a casual, summery version of Thanksgiving. But with less stress.
WAY less stress. and more beer
Wow – great list! Sometimes food recipe lists are just so-so but this one is spot on. Thanks so much for sharing! Now I’ll be the cool kid with the awesome recipes at my Mom’s BBQ tomorrow

I definitely agree with you. Who looked at a week and said, there’s 7 days, let’s work 5 of them? I would much prefer 3 1/2 on and 3 1/2 off.
This strawberry feta skewers look tasty!
