This week the kids have gotten very creative with their afternoon play time. I came out of the shower one day and caught these two in full costume running their food stand again!
Our 4th of July started off a little rough. We have had almost no rain since January and it finally decided to pour on the 4th of July. The kids ran around and danced in the rain. This is something we look forward to here in Arizona!
While the kids played I was inside working on my corn casserole and Red, White, and Blue Chips and Dip to bring over to Jenni's house for her 4th of July bash.
I served these two dips with blue corn tortilla chips for dipping. Both are whipped up in a small food processor. Don't over blend the salsa!
Roasted Red Pepper Salsa:
-two chopped roasted red peppers
-1 vine ripe tomato
-1 jalapeno
-1/4 of a large white onion
-1 TBSP fresh lime juice
-1/2 teas cumin
salt and pepper
Creamy Garlic-Cilantro Dip:
-1 1/2 cups sour cream
-2 TBSP fresh lime juice
-2 TBSP chopped cilantro
-1/2 teas coriander
-1/2 teas lime zest
-two small cloves garlic
-salt and pepper
Jenni's party was nonstop fun. The weather turned around and it actually made for a much cooler day which we could definitely use! The kids went swimming and we ended the evening with fireworks and sparklers in her back yard.
Some of the cracks were a little too much noise for her!
After Jenni's the kids were hungry AGAIN! Probably because all they did was play and swim and getting them to stop and eat over the 8 hours we were there was not happening. We grabbed them a little something, found a parking spot in a dirt field next to the ballpark, and took in the fireworks courtesy of the City of Goodyear!
