    Fourth of July Recipes - A Gr8 Menu!

    June 26, 2021 by Anna Leave a Comment

    Whether you're doing a picnic or potluck or pool party, here are some of our favorite Fourth of July Recipes! We are sure these Gr8 dishes will become your favorites, too!

    Celebrating our freedom with the approaching Fourth of July and we are all thinking about relaxing and enjoying a day of Gr8 Food, fun, and fireworks.

    Here are some of our favorite recipes for this fun summer holiday.

    There's something for everyone in this menu, vegetarians, gluten-free, dairy free; you CAN please all the people!

    Fourth of July Menu

    Dips are always perfect for starting a casual holiday shindig, because people can easily grab a chip, cracker, or veggie and dip and eat. We love Jurga's Herby Dill Dip and Bleu Cheese Pear Dip.

    Basket of fresh cut vegetables with a dip in a carved out red cabbage.

    And for the main course, how about some BBQ chicken and ribs? The perfect food for a hot day with Gr8 Friends and Family!

    Now, what about side dishes? One of our favorites, that we each make over and over again is this Kale Slaw with Lemon Aioli.

    It is light, refreshing, tasty, healthy...AND it feeds a crowd! How much better can it get?

    A bowl of kale slaw.

    Add Debbie's Spicy Corn on the Cob and Kyle's Grilled Veggie Potato Salad and you have the perfect summer meal with something for everyone.

    Let's not forget about dessert! We have an easy one for you and one that takes a little more prep.

    The easy dessert is berries with a simple cheesecake mousse. Red, White and Blue Cheesecake Mousse, easy to make and a crowd favorite!

    Overhead shot of Cheesecake Mousse with fresh strawberries and blueberries.

    If you have some time and want to make a showstopper, use the same cheesecake mousse to make this star-spangled American Flag Fruit Pizza.

    Overhead shot of a tart decorated with berries and cream to look like an American flag.

    Yum-merica the beautiful!
