Red White & Purple

Happy Monday Tuesday!!!

Look who has fresh veggies in their garden! Have you ever had a kohlrabie? It’s a German turnip. Bright and purple. It’s HUGE!!! It tastes a lot like a crisp apple mixed with broccoli. I know funny right? But it does taste good.

We also picked two very lovely cucumbers.

So of course I made a fresh cucumber salad for our 4th of July BBQ.

Easy Cucumber and Kohlrabie Salad

Ingredients:

• 1 large kohlrabie (or turnips)
• 2 cucumbers
• 4 carrots
• 1/4 cup white wine vinegar
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp sea salt
• 1 tbs black pepper
• Juice from one lemon

Directions:

In a small bowl mix together wet ingredients plus salt and pepper. In a food processor slice up veggies and mix together. Pour dressing over veggies and toss. Enjoy!

The perfect salad for a hot day!

Then it was off to the Meads to celebrate America! Aren’t they such a cute little family?!

The food!

Lemonade 🙂

More food 🙂

I loaded up on salads, veggies, and fruit.

I was so busy chatting I never ended up getting in the pool 🙁

The Hubs and I. 

All the babies! I told you there is something in the water!!!!

Our sweet baby 😉

I am doing a fun baby shoot for Chole soon…CAN’T wait!

Such a fun holiday.

We didn’t end up staying late, because we had a long weekend. We drove home and decided to just relax in the backyard before we ended our stay-cation together 🙂

Sometimes chilling in the backyard doing nothing at all is the best way to celebrate!

Hope you all had a great weekend with friends and family!!
