Can you believe it's July, half the year is gone! I'm going to a friend's cabin for their annual picnic on Friday, to another friend's annual fireworks supper on Saturday and then on Sunday night, we're having a 4th of July dinner with family and friends at home. I hope that each of you enjoy a safe and happy holiday weekend as we celebrate our country's birthday. Travel blessings, don't drink and drive, and watch out for the blistering sun.

1 medium yellow onion, diced
½ green bell pepper, diced
8 slices bacon, chopped

Cook bacon in skillet for about 5 minutes over medium/ low heat – don’t crisp bacon. Remove bacon and set aside, add onions and pepper to skillet and cook in bacon drippings for 10 minutes over medium heat. In a bowl mix the remaining ingredients.
