Fireworks and Fireflies, I can't believe it's already the 4th of July. It's a day to have a BBQ and gather with friends and family to celebrate the many freedoms we have.
If you are having company, make it easy and serve hamburgers and hotdogs. Delegate chips, potato salad and juice boxes for the kids when friends ask what to bring. Some good ideas for burger toppings you can put out for a little variety are bacon, guacamole, salsa, canned onion rings, blue cheese crumbles and your basics. Homemade ice cream goes a long way in fun and entertainment, as well as, a yummy dessert. You can trade out your burger toppings for ice cream toppings. Some of my favorites are crushed Oreos, toffee bits, flavored syrups, whipped cream, fresh fruit and sprinkles. Entertaining friends should not be synonymous with stress. Always, always keep it simple and remember your friends come over for your company, not your food.
Whether you go boating with family and friends, or have a BBQ and watch the fireworks light up the sky, take a moment to be grateful for those who have afforded us the luxury of freedom to spend this day however we choose.
Happy 4th of July from my family to yours!
Happy Cooking!
