All my favorite 4th of July recipes for your eating and drinking pleasure on this festive holiday!
Judy’s Baked Beans
There’s no other baked bean recipe in my (virtual) cook book besides Judy’s Baked Beans. A little sweet, savory, and totally decadent, I promise you’ll go back for seconds and thirds of these luscious baked beans which are a long time family favorite.
Best-Ever Southwestern Black Bean Dip
If you’re tasked with bringing a side to a 4th of July get-together, make Best-Ever Southwestern Black Bean Dip to share. This is THE BEST chip dip and bonus, you can say you ate your veggies, too!
Grilled Sweet Corn with Chili Lime Honey Butter
Fresh summer sweet corn is grilled then slathered with a smokey-sweet compound butter in Grilled Sweet Corn with Chili-Lime Honey Butter. Tastes even better than it sounds.
Sweet Tea Vodka Lemonade Mojitos
Sweet Tea Vodka Lemonade Mojitos are the most delicious thing to come out of my liquor cabinet since…well, ever! These babies are perfectly thirst-qenching. Mix a bunch ahead of time then shake with ice when you’re ready to sip.
Mediterranean Orzo Salad
Mediterranean Orzo Salad is awesome cold or warm – it’s like, so versatile. Delicious too! I just love the combination of feta, capers, and kalamata olives. Mmm…
Best-Ever French Onion Dip
The recipe for Best-Ever French Onion Dip is a God-send considering my favorite French Onion Dip in the world (AE’s, y’all) is not gluten-free. Thick and totally addicting, this dip is made lighter by using Greek yogurt instead of sour cream.
Mojito Fruit Salad
If the 4th is going to be scorching where you live this year, be sure to have a big batch of Mojito Fruit Salad on hand. This fruit salad recipe is easy, sweet, and refreshing – not to mention beautiful!
Mom’s Classac Potato Salad
It wouldn’t be July 4th without a big ol’ scoop of Mom’s Classic Potato Salad! Made without crunchy and unnecessary “extras” this potato salad is pure and simple. A classic.
Ultimate Red-Skinned Potato Salad (Mayo-Free!)
Still want potato salad at your July 4th shindig, but hate mayo? I’ve got you covered with Ultimate Red-Skinned Potato Salad. Every bite is seriously mouthwatering on account of the light and delicious honey-dijon vinaigrette. And bacon, of course.
Root Beer Can Chicken
I know I just posted this, but a little reminder is always nice. Throw a Root Beer Can Chicken on the grill on the 4th than go play a volleyball game or two. Juicy meat with crispy skin will be ready when you are!
Easiest Fruit Salad
Need a fruit salad recipe, and fast? Make quick, crowd-pleasing Easiest Fruit Salad which comes laced with a special Midwestern-inspired ingredient.
Strawberry Angel Food Cake Jars
Add a layer of fresh blueberries and these individual Strawberry Angel Food Cake Jars are July 4th-ready!
