4th of July Favorites

I can't believe today is already July 1. Boy does time fly. Since it is almost July 4th I thought I would share with you a few of my favorite things about 4th of July.

First of all, I love the food.

I love grilling out. I love almost anything that you can put on the grill. Hamburgers and BBQ have to be my 2 favorites.

I am huge dessert person. I love it all! We are grilling out at our house this year and I still can't decide which dessert I am going to make. My family is coming over and a few of our friends. My mom is making homemade ice cream. Yum! Maybe you can help me choose.

I am thinking of making this Super Strawberry Shortcake.

It looks like heaven on earth.

This is what I am talking about....Peanut Butter S'Mores.

This one might top my list...Chocolate Chip Banana Cream Pie.

Which one do you think I should make? I am leaning towards the Chocolate Chip Banana Cream Pie but they all just look so good. I wish I could make them all but I don't have enough time.

I think these are cute idea for decoration and a snack. If I have time I might try to make them.

A few other ideas I have seen are a burger bar and ice cream sundae bar.

What I also love about the 4th are family and friends. I love getting together and cooking out, eating and talking. So fun!

Of course, it wouldn't be the 4th of July without fire works.

Every year our town puts on a big fire works show. We always used to go as a family growing up. I don't think I attended the show last year but we are planning on going this year.

What are your 4th of July favorites?
