I hope you are hungry! What are you doing to celebrate the 4th?
Yum, you are making me hungry. I’m going to search your site for some of these recipes. Thanks for sharing!
You always come up with the best food ideas! That tomato gratin and the London broil has my name written all over them! Wonderful food photos, one and all!
Will your new wine be rested enough to enjoy on the 4th?
Oops – that should read:
Will your new wine be rested enough for YOU to enjoy on the 4th?
my current plan just revolves around eating creamsicles…
Wow. I should not look at blogs in the morning. I’m way too far away from being able to go home and make anything like that.
Guess I’ll enjoy this gourment yogurt cup…
Looks delish!
These all look absolutely amazing. I wish we knew enough people to invite to a party to cook all this! We might just have to work out way through each recipe one day at a time. Scrumptious! But seriously, I’m not sure that even a dessert can be better than Robert Redford
Oh my gosh—-everything looks so delicious….how do I choose? I’d love some of each.
My mind tells me I’m not hungry, but my stomach is telling me otherwise-it’s growling looking at all those beautiful photos…… :)
I wish I were going to your house for the 4th of July… ;)
These all make me want to head to the barbecue now, I suppose I should have breakfast first though.
So SPP and I were wondering what to do with our 4th weekend since we have no plans. Now I think a trip to Oregon is in order. If you feed me this stuff, I promise to help you work in the vineyards!
If you like Better Than Robert Redford Cake, you should try my Better Than Better Than Sex Cake.
Wow, can I come over to your house! Seriously hubby and I are headed to NYC for the weekend. We’re taking in the play “Fences” starring Denzel Washington! I’ll be in the theatre with my two favorites dudes! Be safe!
Thanks for the yummy recipes with the mouthwatering pictures!
So we can expect you on the 3rd so you have plenty of time to cook for us right? I can personally vouch for those firecracker cupcakes, The Kids loved making them as much as they did eating them.
BBQ chicken and those red potatoes are on the menu now.
Thanks again for all those wonderful recipes.
Wow, every single thing looks absolutely delicious!
