The CK Daily – Grilling around the Neighborhood
Happy Thursday everyone!
I know a lot of you have already started checking out of work and normal activities for the July 4th holiday weekend. I can tell by all of the “out-of-office” replies we have been getting as the week has gone on. Haha! I hope all of you have some fun and relaxing plans for the weekend. My neighbors and I were discussing last night what we wanted to grill/cook over the next few days as we rotate around to each other’s homes. I am trying to decide between a cajun smoked turkey or an applewood-smoked chicken. Of course, it is always a tradition with my family to make homemade ice cream so that will be happening too. I have a box of Samoa Girl Scout cookies in the freezer so I think I will make Samoa ice cream over the weekend. Should be a fattening, but great weekend!
If you are planning on grilling, smoking, or cooking something over the holiday weekend, let me know what it is. I might change my mind about what I am planning on making, or at least convince one of my neighbors to make it on their turn. Haha!
Have a great rest of the week and a safe, happy holiday weekend!
