Hi Julie:
We are invited to a BBQ next weekend and these recipes came just in time. I think I’ll make the Tuna Macaroni Salad to take with me. We both love potato salad, so I’ll make that just for us, The blackberry pie looks divine.
Hope you are enjoying the summer so far. We are getting a lot of rain in BC, so our flowers aren’t doing so good.
Cheers, Bette
Thank you, Bette! Enjoy the potato salad!!! It’s beautiful here today but I’m stuck inside working. I have big news coming up soon. Can’t wait to tell all!
Thank you so much for all the ideas. Wish I could make them all. They are gorgeous.
That would be a lot of work Shirley, ha ha. I know it’s hard to pick! Thank you for stopping by!
Julie, you have so many fantastic fourth of July goodies! But, I think my favorite will always be your crib mattress flag. So cool! xoxo, kristi
Oh my, I’m now starved and off to pin everything!
The recipe for your caramelized onion potato salad looks right up my husband’s alley!! It sounds really good.
What a great roundup of decor ideas and recipes Julie! I adore that crib slat flag, it’s so cute! And I cannot wait to try making that berry pie!
