Claim Independence from boring burgers and hot dogs!
Summer has about three top cookouts. One marks the beginning. One celebrates independence. The last cookout ends the season. The Fourth of July falls in the middle of the cookout season. Depending on your location, you can enjoy local fireworks or set off your own. However, this is a night time activity.
If you are spending time with family and friends, you have a whole afternoon to get through. As a result, your guest and you enjoy a wide spread of decadent foods. Like Memorial Day, most hosts will prepare typical foods. They are crowd pleasers and have withstood the test of time. If you are willing to go the extra mile, you can impress your guest with a fresh pallet of food. If you do not want to put all your eggs in one basket this year, pick a few that are budget friendly for you. Prepare them and see how they are received.
We have a great mix of ideas that suit any budget, any dietary concerns and that are easy and fun to make as well as eat! Click next for new 4th of July recipes to try.
