Fourth of July is not only about celebrating Independence Day but it’s also a time for getting together with family and friends, BBQing, watching fireworks and eating…a lot. I have lots of memories from childhood of us going to my Aunt’s house, eating, watching fireworks & playing with sparklers. To me, 4th of July is truly the start of Summer!
As we’re getting closer to the big day, I started thinking about what kind of foods we want to make and what kind of activities we want to do while we’re waiting to watch the fireworks. Obviously not everything on the table needs to be red, white & blue but it sure is a fun way to celebrate. What are you favorite things to fix for the 4th of July? Need some ideas? Check out these 25 Patriotic Food Ideas!
