Menu Planning for the 4th

​I keep seeing all of these cute things to make for the 4th! 

One of my favorites so far is muddled raspberries at the bottom of a cup, fill with ice, add lime seltzer, top with blueberries. So red white and blue and a good mocktail!

I've also been seeing so many pasta salad recipes that look a bit different. I may end up making this one that I've made a zillion times. It was my mom's. 

Speaking of recipes. I went through alllll of her books and handwritten ones and brought the good stuff home! I'm so happy to have found a few originals that I didn't already have. 

Back to meal planning. I'm thinking we will do a fish and shrimp night with salad and maybe sliced tomatoes or corn. 

Maybe a taco night with tons of options - soft and hard tacos, sheet of nachos and all of the fixings.

And maybe a low country boil? 

Also, thinking about lunch ideas and may try the Hawaiian roll Italian sliders. 

Oh and my friend Lisa recently made coconut margaritas and I feel like I need to try that!
