Hello Everyone! I love celebrating independence day It's almost right up there next to Halloween and Christmas for me. I love the fireworks, parades, sticky popsicles that get everywhere and being with family. So in celebration of this amazing holiday I have a fun decoration you can make for next year and a summer salad for you to try this year.
This first craft is simple and a lot of fun. It's a star spangles garland. Feel free to get the kids involved in this one. Simply use a star shape template and cut lots of stars and strings them together. All you need is paper, a template (I used two different sized cookie cutters), scissors, yarn or string, a paper whole punch and tape. It's as simple as that. Hang it on your front door or you front room.
This Summer Salad comes courtesy of my Sister-in-Law. Thanks Sis.
Ingredients
1 12 ox box Pasta
1 can olives drained and sliced
6 oz sharp Cheddar cheese cubed.
1 cup mini pepperoni slices
1/2 bottle Italian dressing
Cook the pasta as instructed on the packaging. Once cooked run under cold water until cool, let drain. In a large bowl mix the cheese, pepperoni, and olives. Add the Italian dressing and pasta. Toss to coat and serve.
Have a happy and safe Fourth.
