When our forefathers signed the Declaration of Independence on July 4th, 1776, I don’t think they could have ever imagined what it would be today. I don’t think they would be upset. I think they would enjoy the fact that their hard work and strong will has given us a country that we can be proud of and celebrate. Here at Tony Chachere’s we celebrate just like any American family around the country – we barbecue!
Norm and Lyman were here before 6 this morning to fire up the pit.
By the time most of us got to work at 8 am, we were greeted with the wonderful smell of chicken on the grill. (I bet you wish you had a scratch and sniff monitor right about now!)
At 11:00 everything was ready and we started fixing our plates. We have all of the good stuff: barbecued chicken and sausage, creole mashed potatoes (recipe below), baked beans, salad, and garlic bread.
And the day wouldn’t be complete without some ice cream!
Now for Creole Mashed Potatoes seasoned with Tony Chachere’s Original Creole Seasoning.
This is a very simple and tasty recipe that will wow your family. You can make as much or as little as you need and add all of the extras to taste.
Start by making your preferred brand of instant mashed potatoes as directed on the box, just omit the salt. Now add as much or as little as you would like of the following:
- Sour Cream
- Bacon bits
- Swiss Cheese
- Onion tops
- Tony Chachere’s Original Creole Seasoning
- Mix well and enjoy!
I hope you all have a very safe and happy Independence Day and just want to close with a few words from the great men who fought so hard to make this a free country:
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” — The Declaration of Independence
