Foodie Friday: The Best Backyard Barbecue Recipes


The weather in my part of the world promises to be perfect for fireworks, fourth of July festivities, and firing up the grill. This recipe roundup will help make your backyard barbecue the best in town. Think Coconut Caramelized Pineapple, Strawberry Shortcake Grilled Donuts and more. Enjoy your holiday with friends, family and  good food! I'll be back in business after the fireworks.

I may have presented this pretty potato dish before. It's back again because I want to make it this weekend! It has bacon in it, for those who love it. For my vegan friends, just omit the bacon. YUM!

What's more American than Cherry pie? This is a crust lovers (like me) recipe! Beautiful, right?
