Fourth of July may look a little different this year but it’s still our patriotic duty to enjoy delicious food. These scrumptious recipes are made with readily available ingredients and leftovers are just as good. Start with some Strawberry Salsa served with pita chips (tasty on top of chicken too). Grill Chipotle Lime Chicken and serve with Cucumber & Tomato Salad or Nana JoAnn’s Potato Salad. End the celebration with an American Angel Food Parfait. If you’re hosting a scaled back 4th of July BBQ this year, check out these recipes for your cookout.
American Angel Food Parfait
"This is the perfect dessert for that Labor Day or July 4th picnic! It's also a great, light dessert anytime! This recipe also calls for pre-made cake; so,...no cooking involved!" - Christi
Zesty Pasta Salad Supreme
"This Zesty Pasta Salad supreme is one of my all-time favorite salads. Seriously, I will usually hide the leftovers in the fridge so I can nibble on it for a few days all by myself. This is one of those salads I never grow tired of and make it several times a year." - Debbie
Strawberry Salsa
"There's nothing better than fresh chopped salsa and you will not be disappointed by this flavor-packed recipe. It's sweet, savory, and has a little kick. We tried this with pita chips, on top of chicken, and stuffed into a pita sandwich - all were delicious." - The Kitchen Crew
Pesto Grilled Shrimp
"With summer here it is grilling season and one of my favourite things to grill is meat on a stick! I mean, what’s not to like? You have meat, sticks, and fire! Mmm… Although I generally think of chicken first when it comes to meat on a stick, you can’t go wrong with plump juicy shrimp either!" - Kevin
Cucumber & Tomato Salad
"Perfect salad for cookouts and summer meals. Put that veggie and herb garden to work!" - Lorene
Amaretto Peach Upside Down Pound Cake
"Amaretto Peach Upside Down Pound Cake is bursting with flavor. Two classic cake recipes collide with this perfect dessert. This cake recipe is buttery, tender, and has a fine crumb and a caramelized brown sugar and peach topping!" - Paula
Hot Dog Onions
"I tried many different hot dog onion recipes. I mixed and matched them until I got the perfect combination!" - Lillian
Chipotle Lime Chicken
"I use thighs for this however, you can use whatever you choose. This is a very easy and cost efficient recipe." - Lou
Blueberry Strawberry Buckle
"A refreshing dessert for those summer barbecues." - Billy
Mom's Macaroni Salad
"Elbow macaroni, celery, sweet relish, and hard-boiled egg make up my mom’s macaroni salad. Light and flavorful, you think you will eat just one scoop on your plate, but then you find yourself going back for seconds and thirds." - Darci
Nana JoAnn's Potato Salad
"Wonderful tasting and the best Southern-style potato salad you can eat." - JoAnn
"My Fav" Marinated Flank Steak
"It makes a super-flavorful and tender steak which is great on the grill. I have also cooked on low in a Crock Pot." - Angie
Rose Sangria
"My favorite summer breeze refreshment drink!" - Theodora
Grilled Peaches By Freda
"Grilled peaches and Georgia peaches, of course, are a wonderful surprise while camping or anytime. These are great individual dessert servings. I have also mixed plums with peaches or fresh pineapple with the peaches for great flavor." - Freda
