Hi All! It's Nicole, Annette's web manager and friend. I am back today to talk about one of my favorite holidays: July 4th. The fourth of July is always such a happy, carefree holiday which is one of the many reasons I enjoy it so much. To me, there's nothing like a holiday that actually feels relaxing: no pressure and no presents; it's just plain fun.We have spent many many many years at the beach with family, but this year, I am delighted to say we will be home with a small group enjoying the day. We live in the heart of Buckhead, and Atlanta's Peachtree Road Race, the biggest 10k in the world, parades right through our neighborhood. We'll start the day bright and early cheering on all of the runners, joggers, and walkers, hair of the dog cocktail in hand! Then the day will continue with a cookout, and of course, fireworks.To put together an inspirational menu, I turned to Annette's archives, and I have a recipe round-up of some of her best 4th of July foods and beverages. You can find each of them below. I hope you have a wonderful 4th of July!
