Rounding up a few of my favorite Fourth of July recipes for this year’s celebration. Hard to believe it’s just a couple days away! I imagine that this year, your celebration may look a little different. It may not include 25 of your closest family and friends. It may not be indoors with an extensive buffet. It may be a smaller crowd that’s much more intimate and BYOF (bring-your-own-food). But that doesn’t mean you can’t celebrate with some fun and festive dishes. My husband and I are gonna be making burgers before work and that’s our small idea of a celebration, I hope that these recipes inspire you to create your perfect quarantine Fourth of July.
Healthy Coleslaw
No mayo coleslaw, and all God’s children said AMEN! Packed with veggies: fresh purple cabbage, carrots, cilantro, and fresh jalapeño. This recipe is both colorful and flavorful
Lazy Caesar Salad
Spinach Artichoke Dip

Goat Cheese Elote Dip
Corn is a staple summer vegetable, and this dip would be the hit of your next party. Packed with goat cheese, fresh corn, cilantro, and lime juice, this dip has all the color and all the flavor.
