July was a full month of holidays and travel.  Looking down the list, I had to laugh at the amount of pizza I ate.  It’s a little excessive, but really, is there anything better than a fresh from the oven slice of cheesy goodness?  I don’t think so.

Monday, July 2: meatball subs
Tuesday, July 3: brats, chips and fruit salad
Wednesday, July 4: Independence Day! pulled pork sandwiches, coleslaw, Mark’s panko mac and cheese, watermelon, beans, with a cookie cake and rice krispie treats for dessert

Friday, July 6: beans and rice kielbasa skillet
