What’s for Dinner Tonight?

[Meriweather]

Here the 4th is the same traditional things we've done for 40 years.....just less of it. 7 people instead of 80-100.
Grilled burgers, dogs, some kind of other sausage, potato salad, cole slaw, watermelon, pineapple, strawberries, chips, nacho sauce and tortilla chips.
Dessert ice cream bar.

Same thing planned as posted earlier......everything is ready for the family to arrive.
The other sausage is pineapple bacon

Well, our plans got blown out of the water. DH woke up sick. We won't get to go to our planned event, but I'm going to suggest that DS go. There's no reason he should miss the fun. Fingers crossed that I don't get it. Someone is going to need to drive tomorrow.

I have leftover salad from last night & may nuke a baked potato for me. I haven't had one in ages. I'm going to have to scrounge around DS's fridge & pantry to see what I can come up with for DH. Unfortunately, there aren't many businesses open here today to get take out.

How do you make the grilled vegetable salad?

It sounds like you have a delicious evening planned.

This is the base recipe I use. I mix it up with veggies that I have on hand and don’t always use the parsley. Sub out with a chopped romaine or arugula. https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ree-drummond/big-grilled-veggie-salad-11331049

Thanks. That looks really good. I'll have to give it a try.

It’s Bo time. Much better chicken than Jollibee.

We went out to breakfast. I had the red, white, and blue French toast.


I went to a friends pool party/bbq. It’s a big party she has about 100 people each year.

They had burgers, dogs, pulled pork, wings, a corn pasta salad (it was really good), potato salad, regular pasta salad, green salad with strawberries and blueberries, fruit salad, dorito salad, coleslaw, lots of apps and desserts.

I had a sampling of the non meat sides. DH said the pulled pork was really good.

I ended up making chocolate almond cupcakes. I couldn’t find local blueberries to try the cookies and I needed a larger serving than the brownies but both are in my future baking list!

We made Coney dogs and sweet potato fries for lunch yesterday. Dinner last night was supposed to be lasagna but it didn't come out right for some reason which is weird b/c I've been making this for a very long time. So husband made steak tips and noodles to replace it lol.

Tonight, IDK yet. We have leftover turkey burger we could do something with or just have a pizza. I'll be back to update later.

Leftovers for dinner tonight! Next up this weekend food wise is our patriotic brunch on Sunday!

After years of working every major holiday, my husband and I make it a point to celebrate in a big way now. It’s become a tradition that we host an open house brunch for friends, family and neighbors the Sunday after the 4th.

Happy Saturday, y’all!

We ate the pizza for lunch just now and have decided on butter chicken and gnocchi for dinner.
