It’s that time again…time to make DELICIOUS food and surround yourself with family and friends! While IÂ frequently make delicious food (if I do say so myself) the best part about it is gathering around a table and sharing it with the people I love. I’m especially excited to be spending this Fourth of July with my mama by my side.
I’m starting to think that spring / summer holidays are my favorite. While I’m all for Thanksgiving (um, have you seen my Pumpkin Pie with Chocolate Graham Cracker Crust) and absolutely love cookies & hot cocoa on Christmas, there’s nothing quite like the sizzle of the grill, being outside, and the sun setting at 8PM.  SO I’ve rounded up the best of the best for you to whip up for your Fourth of July table — everything from fresh salads to juicy grilling recipes, and of course all of the festive treats (did someone say frosé?)
Enjoy xo!

I absolutely LOVE your orange, strawberry avocado salad. We are having a breakfast/brunch as our cabin is on the parade route (your typical funky, homespun parade). I plan on serving your salad with quiche and mimosas! Love the flag cake and may make a crumble version with cherries, blueberries and strawberries for a more appropriate brunch dessert. Happy July 4th! Even though we’ve never met, I feel each time I make one of your recipes, I am spending time with an old friend.
Hi Mary! Hope you loved these and had an awesome Fourth of July! Also love that cooking connection 🙂
Such a great list to celebrate with!!!
