Fourth of July Recipe Ideas

Here are ideas to round out your Fourth of July menus.  We are still unpacking…only half a POD to go!  But seriously the mess here is incredible.  We will survive though…

Anyway, add one of these recipes I have previously made to your weekend menu, you won’t be disappointed.

The above recipe, Firecracker Cupcakes with POP ROCKS, is a real hit!

My Tantalizingly Tangy Chili-Cheese Dogs…Yum.  This post also goes into hot dog etiquette 101.  Yes, it exists.

Lemon-Caper Dip served with veggies.

Fuzzy Melba’s….I’m sure this is patriotic.

Chicken, Nectarine and Red Onion Kebabs….very yummy.

Going on a picnic?  Ina Garten’s Caesar Salad Club Sandwich.  This is an incredible sandwich.

Oh Ma Ga…Better Than Robert Redford Dessert.

  3. Thanks for remembering us even though you have so much going on. I want to try to make everything because it all looks so good. I’m thinking the kids will love me if I make those cupcakes!

  5. Thanks so much, Cathy! Love all of these, especially the very enticing cold drinks! Do you think I could get a cabana boy to come camping with us this weekend and serve these up to me around the campfire? I think Mr. GFE will be busy mowing grass, cutting firewood, etc. 😉

  6. This is quite a spread! I’m going the semi-lazy root this year, and hosting a pot-luck. I’m making burgers and am utterly intrigued by the slider recipe technique of baking them in a sheet pan and then cutting them. A heck of a lot easier, but will the guests let me get away with it??

  7. I love you for posting this. I am always amazed at the quality of food you have. They all look fantastic, how to choose. But anything better than Robert redford is a must try. Nice Nice round up!

  15. Hi Cathy! I’ve been reading your blog for about a year but have never commented before. Thanks for always providing such yummy looking recipes! I’ve made your pepperoni dip a couple of times and wow- people love that stuff! Have a Happy 4th, and good luck unpacking!

  19. Mmmmmm! What a wealth to choose from. I already know we are definitely making the sliders, but I think we’re going to go with the cupcakes and the pineapple too!

    Thanks for listing all of these! And good luck getting settled. I know how stressing that can be!

  25. I made firecracker cupcakes with pop rocks last 4th of July, but I baked mine in china tea cups. They were so pretty, and everyone loved them…except my smallest fussbudget, who picked off the pop rocks. We must have been thinking alike last summer!

  33. Hi Cathy .. by the sound of it you deserve a Cadbury’s Dairy Milk medal – though I’m sure something of a better quality should be available!

    Excellent recipes, wonderful pics –

    congratulations on the move .. and it’ll be good to have you around to amuse us once again .. thanks

  34. Those Blue Sky Potatoes remain a huge hit around here from the last time I made them! YUM on everything! Too bad you don’t have all of these currently made and waiting at the back of POD #3! That’d inspire some unpacking!!

  36. So many gorgeous recipes to choose from! I’m recovering from a trip to Ashland and can really use the inspiration. Since we’re having perfect BBQ weather here, so unusual for a 4th of July weekend in this part of the world, I definitely need to get something going on.

  40. OMG Cathy–my head is spinning! I want it all! At this point, I plan on making the sliders, chili dogs and cupcakes–those we’ll make for sure and I’m still figuring out which drink and maybe some sides. I can’t wait!!

  41. Thanks for passing these along! They all look AMAZING! I’ve made the chicken and nectarine kebabs-very satisfying-but I can’t wait to try your peach margarita!

    I’m so looking forward to reading about the growth and development of your vineyard, by the way! Glad you made the move okay!

  44. WOW!! That’s an awesome selection of recipes, Cathy! I can’t wait to make the sliders for my son and my husband would think he’d died and gone to heaven if I made him the Reuben Dip. That’s his favorite sandwich. And, I love the Blue Sky Potatoes.

    Thanks for putting together such a great selection! Happy 4th!

  51. If you do this, you’ll be sure to stay de-motivated.If you have energy, you might feel like doing something. You can’t have that! A diet full of junk food combined with no exercise is the recipe for staying de-motivated.Keep telling yourself how bad everything else is.
