Family, Friends, Fun, and Food

Happy July 4th! We spent the day here at home. I have been reading through some old magazines and decided to try out some of the Kraft recipes from the free magazine that comes to me in the mail. We had BBQ potato salad-which I am not sure I really liked but it was a nice change from the normal-pasta salad-which I really enjoyed-Lime Chiffon pie-lowfat recipe but still tasty-Strawberry Shortcake-again low fat but delicious. We also had the Watergate Salad which I made with vanilla pudding, not the pistachio flavor from the recipe. We added hotdogs, kielbasa, and chicken to my Kraft recipe foods. We visited with friends, and just enjoyed the day! I would love to hear about your holiday.

  1. Karen, you should send this post to Kraft foods! I am not sure I would like BBQ salad either. I am off now to find a pasta salad to make for my grandsons today.
