My goodness, this heat is unrelenting! I don’t mind the sun so much as the humidity. It just melts you the moment you step outside. That, I very much mind.
What can you do, though, right?! It’s summer after all. I shouldn’t complain too much. And there’s even a reason for celebration this weekend – we have so few these days.
The 4th of July will be here tomorrow. How are you going to celebrate?
My family normally looks forward to the fireworks but understandably due to COVID-19, this year’s fireworks in our town has been cancelled.
Still, I’ve put out little flags here and there in the front yard to set the mood, bought spareribs for barbecuing, and maybe I’ll even make this crepe cake.
Just because you’re staying home and celebrating with only your spouse and kids doesn’t mean you can’t have fun, and more importantly, great food!
Features!
“Omg, I was watching The Great British Bake Off and someone made a carrot cake and of course, immediately I wanted carrot cake. It’s one of my most favorite cakes, up there with chocolate. And then here it is the best gluten-free version. It’s like kismet; it means I have to make one. Very, very soon, and I will use this recipe as my guide. It sounds so scrumptious!” — Angie
“Who knew that what’s been missing from my life was a Martini!! This one looks fabulous all decked out in Red, White & Blue!” — Mollie
“This pie looks so fresh, cool & delish and I love that it has an easy homemade glaze, made with real strawberries. It’s like strawberry on strawberry flavor!” — Mollie
“Honestly, what’s not to like about these Tater Tot Waffle Pizzas?! I think it’s a great idea!” — Angie

Thanks, Sarah! I just hope it won’t be too humid.
It will indeed be an unusual 4th this year Angie. Stay cool, the heat sounds horrible. I am available to cohost if you still need one.
And the heat is staying here for a while according to the forecast, goshdarnit! Are you offering to help Petra this week? Cause I have you cohosting next week.
No, forgot to look at my calendar. I am on for next week, the 10th.
Great!
Happy 4th of July Angie!
Nothing turned out like we expected this year! Covid is still rampant here in the UK as well and after gorgeous hot weather there is almost a sigh of relief that it cooled down a little and not quite so many are flocking to beaches and parks.
I love the features, they make me hungry! 🙂
Thank you for having me as a co host! I will join full force tomorrow!
Be safe!

Thanks! It’s so frustrating, isn’t it, that we’re where we are with this COVID-19? I really think it’s being handled badly by the authority. Thankfully, New Jersey, where I live, is actually one of a handful states that are seeing a downward trend, though it’s inevitable the so-called second wave will reach us eventually. I had planned to go to the beach this weekend but decided to be responsible and stay home instead. Anyway, thanks for cohosting! Lucky you with the cool weather!
Dropping by from #ChasingMYLife to bring you my Beef Stroganoff Sandwiches, Chicken Chile Verde and Salted Watermelon Salsa Salad. Thank you for hosting a GREAT party. I’m looking forward to visiting links over the next few days. I hope you’re having a WONDERFUL week.
Thanks, Tamy. As always, everything you bring sounds delish!
That Crepe Cake sure looks yummy! And I’m liking the tater tot pizza too. 🙂 Thanks for hosting! I brought by a super refreshing Ginger Beer perfect for a summer holiday. Hope you enjoy. 🙂
Thanks. Love ginger beer! It really IS a perfect drink for summer.
xx Happy 4th July Angie xx
Thank you for hosting. We have announced the 4th of July as ‘let’s open the pubs day’ here in the UK. To say I’m nervous about this is an understatement.
Thanks! That’s the problem, isn’t it, opening too early. That’s what some places here did and look at what’s happening now, a disaster! Hopefully people are more sensible and continue to be safe.
Another great round up…. I hope you had a fantastic July the 4th and stayed safe! Such strange times.
Thank you so much for including my carrot cake as a feature too xx
We had a small celebration at home, then enjoyed a DIY fireworks show that our neighbors put together from the safety of our deck. It was still fun ? Love the look of your carrot cake!
