Fourth of July Edition!
(1)
Buffalo Chicken Meatballs, recipe from my favorite foodies, Sues and Chels over at We Are Not Martha. Clearly, these were spicy, but I live for Frank's Hot Sauce so they were a dream with every bite.

Garlic lemon shrimp, recipe courtesy of my mother who said "don't put anything in this other than butter, garlic, lemon, and shrimp." Lesson? Always listen to your mother, because this shrimp was a hit.

Johnson Family Potato Salad, recipe also courtesy of my mother. My favorite thing about her potato salad is how light it feels. Not nearly as creamy as what you might find at the supermarket, you might even trick yourself into thinking this is good for you. It's probably not.

The finished product. I should have taken an after photo of the damage done by myself and my friends. My roommate rounded off our meal with the most amazing gluten free cake, which we topped with whipped creme, strawberries, and blueberries.
We watched the fireworks from our rooftop in Astoria, Queens, which offers a 360 degree view of fireworks being set off throughout the city. From Macy's to home made explosives (eep!), it was a perfect night.
Happy Fourth of July!
