Happy 4th of July!

We enjoyed a little parade of bikes through the neighborhood today. We decorated the kids bikes last night, (Kelsey thought she was to old to join in, so she walked with Mike and I.) We walked to the neighborhood park and had a BBQ. Thankfully the rain held off until later in the day....what would a 4th of July be in Washington without a little rain!

A very yummy potato salad I made today.
BLUE CHEESE POTATO SALAD
5 lbs. red potatoes - boiled until tender
1 lb. green beans - boiled until tender
Mix - 4 ounces softened cream cheese, 8 ounces of blue cheese dressing,
1 & 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 1/2 tsp. salt and pepper, 1 med. diced red onion, 3-6 minced cloves of garlic. Drain and cool potatoes and green beans - mix with dressing. Garnish with chives or dill. (I like to mix a little of the dill throughout the salad and sprinkle a little more on top.) Serves 8




We hope you all have a happy and safe 4th!!!
