blue and red stripes

We’ve been happily anticipating Independence Day…can’t believe it’s this weekend!
I made us some patriotic pancakes to get us in the mood.

They’re my creamy yogurt pancakes with frozen blueberries mixed in and sugared strawberry syrup on top {see this post for the pancake recipe and this post for the strawberry syrup}.

I decided to experiment and added 1/3 c. of corn meal in place of the all-purpose flour. Hmmm…I like to add 1-2 TBSP. usually. Well it tasted sweet, but I think the saying “less is more” applies here. It was crumbly, plus it made it hard to flip the pancakes. Live and learn.

As for our door. It’s been wreath-less for more than a month! That’s a record for me. For some reason I feel like there always needs to be something on my door. I knew I wanted something patriotic but was stumped. I finally did this…
Kind of different but the stripes are nice.
Oh and the wreath is a bean wreath knock off of this acorn one from Made. What can I say? Dana’s got some great stuff.
As for the rest of the weekend, I’m looking forward to car parades, fireworks {Utah allows aerial fireworks this year!}, roasting marshmallows, barbequing with neighbors, sparklers, root beer floats, maybe some swimming…
What about you?

    Hey that looks cool! I was just at Target, and they had FLAT marshmallows! Kraft brand. All the better for smore-ing!

    Get out! That is so cool! My door is always wreath-less, because we have a window with a design. When there is a wreath in front of it, it throws off all sorts of weird shadows and prisms. It freaked me out. Lame, I know. Have a great 4th! I miss Utah in July. Always so much fun.
