Red, White, & Bleu Sliders

Red, White, & Bleu Sliders

4th of July calls for patriotic foods! We are finally sharing our 4th of July menu with everyone and one of our main dishes was these Red, White, & Bleu Sliders! This recipe gives traditional sliders a fun twist and is most definitely good for patriotic holidays.

Our 4th of July weekend was so much fun, and the weather at the beach was absolutely gorgeous all weekend. I started the 4th of July waking up to beautiful morning and getting in a quick workout before celebrating America’s birthday! When I came home from the gym, me and my mom made Bloody Mary’s because what better post-workout breakfast of champs is there?! After lunch and some cooking to prepare for dinner, we hit the beach and enjoyed the nice sun. When we came home we had family over, drank cocktails, and ate all of our patriotic creations! After dinner we went on my Aunt’s boat to watch the fireworks! And then to finish the night I met up with some friends for drinks at our local bars.

4th of July was most definitely a fun day for me and my family, I honestly would love to relive it! What are your favorite 4th of July memories?
