The 4th of July is TOMORROW!
It is truly one of my favorite holidays and this year we're hosting the family for an evening of fun, food and fireworks! Here is a preview of tomorrow's menu:
Hamburgers and hotdogs
To make the usual burger and hotdog a little more exciting, set out an assortment of toppings your guests can experiment with. Ex:
-along with cheddar, offer swiss and bleu cheese
-side of bacon. always have bacon.
-avocado
-sauerkraut
-along with yellow mustard offer course ground dijon mustard
Indonesian Chicken Satay
In place of chicken and veggie kabobs I opted for this Satay because its so delicious and served with a peanut sauce for dipping that is out of this world.
Potato Salad
I've been dying to try this recipe from the July issue of Cooking Light magazine. Everything about it sounds amazing. Its called Creamy Buttermilk Herb Potato Salad. Potato salads are great because you can make them 1 day ahead and spend more time sipping wine and chatting with your guests on the day of the event.
Corn on the Cob
I'm keeping it simple. Butter, sea salt and fresh ground pepper.
Watermelon
Set out a platter of big triangle slices of watermelon.
Fresh Basil Lemonade
Traditional summertime beverage with a twist.
Apple pie
What kind of 4th of July celebration would we have without apple pie??? This recipe from allrecipes.com is the only apple pie recipe I make because its the best and I dare you to introduce me to a better one...
I will post the step by step next week. Until then... Have a great 4th! May you eat alot, drink alot and refrain from starting fires. Please be kind to animals and let freedom ring!!!
