I promised to share a couple of my 4th of July recipes. And without a doubt this is my new favorite!

Red Onion, White Cabbage and Blue…you guessed it Blueberries.

Seriously I have made this several times and am ALWAYS asked for the recipe.

The dried blueberries are key. Well maybe the bacon is key. Or the Pecans?

Hard to say. I just know you will go wild over this.

Happy 4th Friends! Thank God we live in a free and most awesome country!

Life Giving

Women today are more stressed out, burned out, and defeated than ever before.
The more they seek to better themselves, the farther they fall toward despair.
The key according to Tammy Maltby is to become less self-centered and more other-centered.
Tammy encourages the reader to be the one who gives life to others! In Lifegiving, she provides teaching on what it means to be a lifegiver without wearing yourself out.
Beautiful living in the truest sense.
Follow the book Lifegiving as a 8 week bible study in The Lifegiving Journal

4th of July Red White and Blue Punch

in 4th of July

I love the 4th. I have so many fun memories with my children surrounding the 4th. Parades, grilling, games, family and friends gathering.

Here is one of my favorite punch recipes. We featured many of these at our Start Simply Cooking Class this month. Ck out our facebook page for more recipes and hospitality ideas. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Start-Simply-but-Simply-Start/335012629934053?fref=ts

4th of July Punch

Kids go crazy over this! It was fantastic and what a visual show stopper.
First add ice. Now this is how the layers work. The drink with the highest sugar content stays on the bottom. We used red fruit punch, blue Gatorade in the middle, diet 7-up on top.
Totally fun! Enjoy!
