Fourth of July Food & Beverage
Let’s talk food.
Every 4th of July needs a good Pasta Salad. We’re trying to decide between my Bacon Ranch Pasta Salad or my Pesto Pea Pasta Salad. Or maybe my Broccoli Pasta Salad. It’s a tough decision.
For beverages, we’re going for a sparkling water with lime and mint. It’s the closest I’m going to get to a Mojito here in Utah. Or maybe just good ole Limeade. It’s always great for a crowd. Then of course there’s my favorite Brazilian Lemonade.
Here’s to a safe and fun 4th! Whatever you do, make it delicious!
