This morning, I was trying to explain to my husband why the 4th is my favorite holiday. He likes Independence Day, but didn't think it should be in the running for a "favorite holiday." Here are some of my arguments for the 4th:
It is a holiday centered around being together with your family and food.
It is warm outside.
You get to go to cute, little town parades and catch a ton of salt water taffy.
Barbeque's! Camping!
No present giving and receiving, so you are together with your family because you love to be together.
I think I finally convinced him that the 4th could be on the list of top 5 holidays. (It's still my #1)
I have great plans for food today. We started off the morning by eating homemade waffles. Yummy! Crispy on the outside; soft and warm on the inside. (The Better Home and Gardens Cookbook recipe is delish.) We topped them with peaches (my favorite food) and cream. It was heavenly. Dinner will consist of bbqed Teriyaki Burgers, Watermelon, garden fresh green beans and fresh Utah corn. Oh...and homemade apple pie for dessert.
I am off to marinade the burgers with my homemade Teriyaki sauce! I hope your holiday is full of family and fun!

Happy 4th! Definitely a favorite over here too. Your dinner sounds delish, and the peaches look fantastic. Can't wait to see you soon!
