View postCheck out all of the simple and easy 4th of July Meal Ideas that are sure to make celebrating our nation’s birthday stress-free.
This post is sponsored by Tyson Foods, Inc. All comments and opinions are my own.
I’m excited to say that the 4th of July is getting close. It is my favorite holiday. So even though life looks a bit different at the moment, I still am making what plans I can to make it the best it can be.
I have enjoyed the slower pace of life during the changes and so I have made a very conscious effort to keep life more low key as best I can.
So when it comes to putting together our meal for the upcoming holiday, I’m keeping it easy by checking out the deals at the deli counter because they always keep things simple for me.
Between the main dishes and sides, it makes for a delicious holiday without a lot of work. Plus Walmart makes it easy to one-stop-shop and pick up the red, white and blue decor to go along with the food too.
