1. Our 4th of July breakfast was so awesome. We fed about 200 people. We had waffles with berries and whipped cream, bacon, and yogurt parfaits. It was fun to celebrate with so many friends. We are going to make this a 4th of July tradition.
2. For the breakfast, I smoked the bacon on my new Traeger Grill. It was the best bacon I’ve ever had. I used the maple pellets and the flavor was awesome. What should I make on my Traeger next?
3. Maria got me these shoes and I really like them.
4. Teaching your kids self-control.
5. The Warriors signed Curry and Durrant and that makes us very happy!
6. I am back on my mountain bike and I am thinking about getting a 650B or a 29er Specialized stump jumper. Any suggestions?
7. Sprinklers and ice cream on the porch. This is summer!

1. We had a fun 4th of July! The neighborhood breakfast was a success, everyone loved the waffles. If you follow me on Instagram, you saw that we made a million! Our kitchen still smells like waffles:) In the evening, we went to our neighborhood homemade ice cream and firework party. The boys had a blast!

11. You will want to eat this by the spoonful.
12. Going to make these ASAP!
Waffles for 200!!!! You are  brave!. Would love to hear more about the logistics – how far in advance did you make them, how did you store them, did you serve them hot or cold?, etc.  The only thing I’d consider serving a crowd that size would be cold cereal and fruit! LOL  You inspire me to give this a try. Thanks!
We made them the day before, we had 6 waffle irons going. We let them cool completely, and then stored them in Ziploc bags. The morning of, we put them on baking sheets in the oven at 200 degrees F to heat back up and crisp back up. We served them with whipped cream, berries, and syrup. They were a huge hit!
Go to Brown Eyed Baker’s site and make Michelle’s Blueberry Crumb Bars. You will not be disappointed! Promise.
I do want to try those bars. Thanks for the reminder!
for the blueberries – make blueberry syrup to enjoy all year round
Love this idea! Thanks!
hey y’all- great post! love the pics of the boys!
With your blueberries make blueberry braid! simple and sooo good!! It uses crescent rolls will a cream cheese icing!! your kids will love it!! love getting your email!!
Sounds and looks like you had a great 4th! Glad the neighborhood activities went well. I like the sound of some of the books on the 14 Books that Maria wants to read. Hopefully I’ll be able to add them to my reading list. Have a good weekend!
I second the Brown Eyed Baker’s blueberry crumb bars for your leftover blueberries. I made them for an office party last week and they were fast, delicious, and well received!
For those blueberries, Brown Eyed Baker recently had a great (and easy) recipe for Blueberry Crumb Bars that were delicious. And did I mention easy? They would also be great with other fruit – I plan on trying apricots or peaches next!
I made a cornbread studded with blueberries and sweet corn for the 4th and it was a hit all around!
That sounds delicious!
That watermelon looks so good! I love them on really hot days, nothing better.
