Hello there!!

I hope all of you are enjoying your 4th of July with good friends and your loved ones!

Last night my mom was flipping through YouTube videos on how to do a crab boil (it has been a while since we last had one for dinner). So many of the videos included almost deadly amounts of seasoning, but my mom has to be careful of her salt intake due to having high blood pressure. As a result of this, our family tends to eat low sodium meals (a much healthier option).

Today my mom did a last-minute run to the store to pick up some crabs. She already had the corn, sausage, and potatoes on hand. My mom also added shrimp and clams to the boil as well. The dinner was so yummy, and moderately spicy!! I forgot how delicious crabs were, as I haven't eaten crab in so long. I am so thankful that my mom decided to try something new this year for the 4th and stirred away from the traditional barbecue meal!!

One more thing I want to mention...

I do not mean to rub anyone the wrong way with this post.

I am proud to be an American. I am very appreciative of this country and the opportunities and freedom I have today. But let us not forget those who played a part in building the foundation for this country!!

Happy 4th of July!! 🇺🇸👀💦💪🏾✊🏿 ‪
