{Weekend Holiday}

Happy 4th of July weekend!! This year, I have decided to make some traditions of my own, to make the day something I look forward to all year long!

1. I'm pulling out my favorite summer dress, which is an amazing blue, red and white checkered dress with a full skirt. I feel very Betty Draper whenever I wear it! Red lipstick, some victory curls and a hair bow will top it off nicely! I always love to dress up, and this is the perfect occasion for it!

2. I've decided to make some of my favorite summer dishes, which are both nutritious, filling and oh-so-tasty!! Here's what I have up my sleeves:

• Corn on the cob with cayenne pepper and sea salt
• Bell peppers stuffed with feta cheese, baked tofu marinated in peanut sauce, mushrooms, cilantro and thyme.
• Berry Salad with farm-fresh berries and mint
• Lemonade

3. I'm planning a rooftop picnic with some friends, where we will enjoy an elevated view of the best fireworks in town! We'll be making s'mores and I'm bringing my record player and some of my favorite LP's to top it all off!

What are your weekend plans?? Do you have any 4th of July traditions? I hope everyone has a fun and safe holiday weekend, and for those of you outside of the US, I'll light some sparklers for you!
