Welcome back fellow readers! It’s been a long time since I’ve been able to join. I’ve been coaching swimming and it’s been crazy busy. The swimmers have been doing well but the hours are long. We had a 4 day break which was so nice!

Today we are asked: Did you celebrate the 4th of July? Care to share a recipe? What’s the favourite dish at your celebration and why?
This year was very low key for us. My mom’s birthday was on Canada Day on the first, so we had a fun party for her. Then we went to my in-laws on the third for a walk and a BBQ and board games. So on the fourth we slept in, I made blueberry scones and took the dog for a walk. My parent’s neighbours had us over for a BBQ and afterwards we went to a local high school and watched the fireworks. I think the kids loved watching the fireworks.
For the past six or seven years I’ve made a watermelon salsa for the 4th. It’s really, really good! I found the recipe a while back and every time I make it, it always gets compliments. Here’s the recipe, I hope you enjoy!
- 4 cups diced seedless watermelon
- 1 cup diced red onion (about half a medium red onion)
- 2/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh mint leaves
- 1–2 jalapeno(s), seeded and finely diced (add more/less to taste)
- zest and juice of 1 lime
Toss all ingredients together until combined. Serve immediately with chips or your favourite item to dip, or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days.
My favourite dish on this holiday is any kind of dip. I love dips and love to try new ones or have the same old ones like seven layer dip. This watermelon dip that I found was because I wanted to find and try a new dip and we had a huge watermelon.
I hope everyone enjoyed their celebrations. That’s it for me today, now continue on the hop to see what the talented Brenda Margriet’s favourite dish is for the fourth. Until next time!
