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!
