Happy July everyone! I hope summer has been treating you well. This month we celebrate Independence Day. I asked the residents about their favorite things about the holiday. Most of their responses were spending time with family, watching the fireworks and all the wonderful food. They love grilled hotdogs, baked beans, potato salad and fruit salad. I thought I would share an easy and delicious potato salad recipe with you all below.
