Fourth of July Recipes!

July 1, 2010 at 3:15 pm , by

Fourth of July is days away, and I’ve got nothing prepped! I haven’t even decided on a menu yet. Luckily, I have LHJ’s massive archive to help me out. Here are some of the recipes that I’m mulling over for Sunday:

For Starters:

Zesty Guacamole – As far as I’m concerned, it’s not a barbecue without fresh avocado guac and crunchy, thick-cut tortilla chips.

Hot Wings with Celery Fennel Apple Slaw – I love a good hot wing. This recipes calls for broiling, but since the grill will already fired up, I’ll just toss ‘em on!

For the Grill:

Ribs with Kansas City Barbecue Sauce – Finger licking good! (Note to self: Stock up on paper towels!)

The Perfect Burger with Herb Butter – Can’t celebrate the 4th of July with burgers…it’s un-American!

Side Dishes:

Corn and Zucchini Pasta Salad – I love this salad, using two of my favorite summer staples.

Chopped Salad with Spiced Pecans – The spiced pecans give this salad a crunchy kick.

For Dessert:

Pound Cake with Fresh Berries and Whipped Cream – This cake is fresh, seasonal, AND patriotic. What more could you ask for on the 4th of July?

Lemon Curd Tarlets – Lemon tarts–hands down my fave dessert.
