We had a neighborhood party complete with a bouncy castle water slide, fireworks and loads of amazing food. {and drinks}
In addition to chips and dips, cheese platters and BBQ we supplemented with a few favorites.
Pasta Salad
Super easy + goes a long way + crowd pleaser, yes please.
Simply boil pasta, drain, cool and add all the things. I went for spinach leaves, hearts of palm, marinated artichoke quarters, black olive slices, cherry tomatoes, red onion and a few bits of steamed broccoli.
Toss it all in Italian dressing and voilà.
Another favorite of ours is affectionately called, Flag Salad. Another one that goes a long way and is super easy to throw together.
Mini Marshmallows + Blue Berries + Strawberries
Add the marshmallows to individual servings to keep from getting soggy.
Our beer of choice? A local bock. Love Honey. ❤️ By Lost Forty Brewing. 
We hope you had a great 4th of July!
