4th of July Roundup

I can't believe that June has come and gone and July is here already!! June at our house flew by filled with graduations, Father's Day, and birthdays! And July at our house kicks off not only with 4th of July, but also my little sister's birthday!! So, today I'm doing a quick roundup for the 4th of July in case anyone needs some ideas on what to make/take/serve and in a few days you can look forward to seeing a dessert! Yes, I said DESSERT. I know, I know. It's been awhile, but just a few more days. Promise. Until then, here's a little help planning for your holiday week!

Hosting the shindig at your place?? Try putting out a burger bar! Give your guests the option of plain, veggie, or fancy burgers!



Not feeling burgers?? These chicken sandwiches are a great alternative!


Need a light and refreshing side?? Try a salad! No need to turn on the heat and they're quick to assemble!



Or go outside the standard green salad and whip up a double batch of this chicken salad. Spread out a layer of fresh greens on a platter and top with the chicken salad. Slice up a baguette or two to go alongside!


What about dessert?? Well, don't forget there's a new one coming in a few days, that will be super easy to throw together! But it also requires use of your oven. And since most of the country right now is experiencing HOT weather (yes, I may be slightly jealous!!), here's a couple no-bake desserts:


And of course the birthday version since it is America's "birthday" after all!
