This next week we will be crazy busy since it is VBS! I love VBS but must admit that I am not
readily looking forward to the exhaustion that comes with being 3 months
pregnant, wanting and needing naps daily, and being utterly exhausted and
having to cook! SO I am looking at menu
planning for the next two weeks!
This brings us to the 4th.
Most people use the 4th of July as a time to get together with
family and friends and have tons of fun, a bar-b-que, or even a party. We normally keep it low key and just hang
with family, our immediate family! I was
asking the kiddos what they wanted this year and all I have heard is that Daddy
needs to make another brisket like he made for Father’ Day. According to one son, specifically John
Robert:
“IF Daddy doesn’t make brisket for the 4th, he won’t live to see the 5th!”
OH MY SON!!!!! I think
brisket it is! On a side note, I love
that the children adore Robert’s cooking so much that they want his specialty
items from the smoker and often! Robert
is so amazing at so many things; we are truly blessed to have him!
So far our 4th of July Menu includes:
1 Brisket put on the smoker low and slow!
Cowboy Beans! YUM-O!
Potato Salad
What we are debating on is:
Hot Slaw (homemade Cole Slaw with mustard and a secret
ingredient!)
Something Sweet (oh I KNOW we will have something sweet, BUT
here is the debate, one wants brownies, one wants cupcakes, one wants cookies,
one wants ice cream, and one wants Strawberry Cobbler so that is the debate.)
So what is your family doing for the 4th of July?
