Dainty Hooligan Holiday Guide: Happy 4th Of July!

The 4th of July is coming upon us and we're getting ready for a great fun filled weekend over here! I've rounded up some great tips to make the best of your coming holiday weekend.

One of the first things I think about when it comes to the 4th of July is FOOD! If you're invited to a block party or family gathering and aren't sure what to bring, let me recommend taking Ina Garten's recipe for French Potato Salad. The great thing about this recipe is that it's made without mayonnaise and will definitely be different from any kind of potato based concoction any one else might bring.  Take a look at the ingredients and you'll know what I mean!
