Red, White, & Blue Yummyness

Happy Memorial Day, my friends!
 Many thanks to our military troops, past and present, who have dedicated their lives to protecting our great nation! 

It's the beginning of the patriotic season--one of my very favorite times of the year!  Get ready for firecrackers and s'mores! :)

Tomorrow, I will be enjoying an entire day outside with my family, soaking in the sun and enjoying every last minute of this 3-day weekend.  I don't know about you, but I needed this extra day in my weekend!
