Foodie-Friday—Fourth of July!

Good morning everyone!

I can’t believe it’s already time for another installment of foodie-Friday! This week I wanted to share some recipes I’ve collected for you in case you’re looking to have an eye-healthy Fourth of July!

Fourth of July is the perfect reason to grill out with family and friends, and burgers are always at the top of the must-have list for the holiday! If you’re brave enough, try out these black-bean burgers, which have gotten rave reviews on allrecipes.com*:
