4th of July Recipes
It’s the height of summer, with the longest days, the hottest nights, and now a party complete with fireworks. YES!
The 4th of July must include the following four elements: flags, fireworks, fresh air and food. And the last two must be combined. MUST, people!! This is not optional. (Listen, I know it’s hot out there, but I don’t make the rules.) So turn on the sprinkler, hand out squirt guns, do what you have to do. But rev up that grill, and for goodness sake, serve something cold.
Here are my fave recipes to get you ready for this sweaty and patriotic holiday. Happy birthday, America!
The Must-Haves
It wouldn’t be the 4th of July without a little star-spangled flag-waving and watermelon. So these three recipes can get you started with that:
The Main Event
Show off your independent streak by serving up something a little different on the Fourth.
The Life of the Party
Let this seasoning bring the awesome to your celebration:
Sides and Snacks
Summery stuff to nibble, drizzle, dip or nosh.
Drinks and Dessert
Grilled fruit, cold drinks and frozen treats to get you ready for the fireworks.
