4th of July Recipes - Crowd Pleasers

There is one time a year that I look forward to more than anything and that is 4th of July at the lake. Each year my some of my best girlfriends and their families pile into our lake house and we make some of the best and most simple memories. It’s pure quality time and I’m so grateful for every second. Watching our kids run around together as we eat and drink and nap and mahjong is my definition of heaven. And speaking of heaven, seeing my kitchen filled with my girlfriends (who are all amazing cooks) is probably one of my favorite parts. All of them with their special recipes that we look forward to every year. And the guys chip in too. With Nick manning the grill and my friend Zach and his epic breakfast sandwiches, we certainly are not going hungry!

I know cooking for a large group can be overwhelming, so I thought I would share a few of the crowd pleasers we put on the table that didn’t stand a chance!
