    We are having chicken & steak kabobs with grilled corn on the cob, and a low-cal red potato salad (skinnytaste.com) & my girls and I are making a Red, White & Blue Trifle (also from skinnytaste.com), made with angel food cake, fat free cool whip, strawberries & blueberries. Oh and I'll be having mojitos to drink, while the hubs will probably have beer, and the girlies have been promised Shirley Temples! Trying to have a fun family cook-out while maintaining our healthier eating!:wink:

    I'm making this pasta salad: http://www.skinnytaste.com/2012/06/summer-macaroni-salad-with-tomatoes-and.html

    and also dilled sweet/sour cucumbers

    Also, providing s'mores stuff, although I will just have a few toasted marshmallows.

    Other people are making burgers/hot dogs, a cake, potato salad, watermelon, and who knows what else.

    I'm logging in advance:

    1 hamburger with bun & mayo
    1 piece of watermelon
    1 cup pasta salad
    1 serving cucumbers
    1 sm. piece of cake
    4 marshmallows (this will be several hours after the meal, and I LOVE toasted marshmallows, lol)

    these threads are funny.

    im going to start with booze...likely white wine...might even get a bottle of hard stuff.
    we'll have apps...scoops with maybe spinach artichoke dip, maybe buffalo dip if there's time.

    then the grill gets fired up. there will be burgers, dogs, and sausages on it...and because im indecisive, i'll likely have some of each. burgers will need to have a lovely bleu cheese or gorgonzola crumbled on top. maybe bacon. no, eff that...DEF bacon. and lots of it.
    sides of potato salad and cobs of corn. pasta salad too.




    time for fireworks.
    finale....done.

    back to the house.

    another burger, more booze. "who wants another dessert?" *raises hand*

    i will have run that morning, so that's good.
    might even run on thursday (my off day), but no promises.

    the best part...
    i will have done NO damage to my progress.
    YAY!

    Now that is what I call A PARTY!
    You are all making me hungry (read drool) and envious. I may have to think about moving to the U S of A. ( Well my grandson is already there in CA)
    I hope everyone is having a fabulous celebration! Sandy. :D

    how big of a dent did everyone make & how is getting back in the grind working for you this am??? (or today) when my head hit the pillow @ midnight last night i was not too excited to get up @ 5, but i (painfully) rolled out of bed this am, and got my 1 of 2 workouts in... feel much btr than i would have i think.

    i also splurged and had a mt dew yesterday (not a big deal but i feel soooo much more draggy the day after consuming pops than on days that i don't ) so i'm extra tired, but refraining from buying another to get thru :D
