Foodie Friday: Fun Recipes For The 4th


{ Via: Williams Sonoma }

Can you believe it is already the 4th of July? Time to fire up the grill and get your menu together. Here's a roundup of recipes that are sure to set off some foodie fireworks.


HERE: 17 Ways To Celebrate The 4th

Frozen Watermelon Rosé Sangria Slushies
Cheers to the long Holiday weekend! I'll drink to that with this gorgeous frozen cocktail slushy.
Half Baked Harvest 

New England Lobster Rolls with Lemon Chive Mayonnaise
Nothing says celebration like lobster. This recipe is easy with only a few ingredients. The top split bun is essential, for presentation. Whole Foods has them.
Food52 

Charred Caprese Sandwiches
"How do you improve on a classic Caprese? Grill your tomatoes—and create a Charred Caprese Sandwich." Especially perfect for a picnic!
Epicurious

Red Velvet Bundt Cake Royale
Bundt cakes are a "thing" these days. In my view, dark chocolate, and the drama of red velvet, has always been a magical thing!
Sprinkle Bakes 

Red,White, And Blue Potato Salad
I believe that I may have posted this recipe before. Normally a mustard and mayonnaise made potato salad is expected.....and boring. No mayo in sight in this recipe, but you will find bacon, red wine vinegar, mustard, and more.
Heather Christo 

Blueberry, Strawberry & Jicama Salsa
Not only is this salsa pretty, it is full of flavor and crunch, too. It has a little bite, with the Jalapeno, but if you prefer you can leave it out.
Two Peas And Their Pod 

Nathalie Dupree’s Liberty Cobbler
This easy and patriotic recipe was created for the celebration of The Statue Of Liberty's 100th birthday in 1986. I am sure it has stood the test of time!
The New York Times

Grilled Baby Back Ribs with Citrus Barbecue Sauce
Growing up, this is what we had for dinner on the 4th. Please make this sauce. It is delicious and without all of the preservatives of that "stuff" in a bottle.
Strawberry Summer Water
Here's a treat for the non drinkers at your party. They will swear that they spent a day at the Spa, after being served this fresh and fruity drink.
How Sweet It Is 

Watermelon Burrata Salad
Burrata is my new obsession. If I ever plan to eat cheese, it will be Burrata. It is so creamy! Top the colorful fruit and cheese with a drizzle of honey.
I Am A Food Blog

Jalapeño Cheddar Guacamole Turkey Burgers with Crispy Onions
Thinking about doing burgers? Give your guests a little something different. The secret component is roasting the peppers first, and then adding to the ground turkey. 
Half Baked Harvest

Nacho Hot Dogs
These are for Mr. Shop This. Purists may not be on board for these dressed up dogs, but I think they look dog gone good!
Food and Wine 

Red, White, and Booze Bam-Boozled Shake
I have never met a shake that I didn't love. Add a little Jack Daniels and blueberry and strawberry jam, and watch the fireworks explode.
Cosmopolitan

One Tequila, Two Tequila, Three Tequila.  Ceviche!
Add some blue corn chips and it is so very on point for the 4th of July.
Elle Decor

No Bake Cheesecake Triple Berry Tart
Said to be embarrassingly simple, this five star recipe is just picture perfect.
How Sweet Eats 

The Best Grilled Steak Marinade Recipe 
Any good grilled food begins with a marinade. This one sounds amazing.
Root and Reval

Marinated Grilled Vegetables With Avocado Whipped Feta
Here's how to get anyone to eat their veggies and love them! This recipe has lots of ingredients but it is not difficult to create.
How Sweet It Is  

Red White and Blue Vanilla Fudge
I found my dessert for a July 3rd barbecue. Who doesn't love a sweet bite of fudge?
Growing Up Gabel

Fourth Of July Cocktail
The overall flavor of this drink is a blend of pomegranate and orange, but not too sweetsy. The presentation of these cocktails will really get your party going
