There’s no better day to invite people over and fire up the grill than the Fourth of July, but the holiday can sometimes feel intimidating from an entertainment perspective.
There’s always the looming threat of someone burning off their eyebrows from a fireworks mishap or your dad yelling at everyone to stay away from the grill because he’s suddenly the Iron Chef. We also envy those of you with access to a pool because the 4th of July will undoubtedly be a scorcher (we’ve vowed to stop following anyone on Instagram who posts pictures of themselves in the pool with a witty caption).
We’ve found four really awesome and easy recipes to make this patriotic day one to remember — and one that’s completely stress-free. Cool off with a cocktail or show your dad a cool new tasty BBQ sauce recipe. Don’t stress over who’s cooking what this year or what you’re going to bring to the party and instead focus on the fact that your best friend is about to light the wrong end of a Roman candle. Have fun listening to everyone sing the wrong lyrics to the national anthem and spend some much needed time relaxing with friends and family.
Take a look at the recipes and let us know which one you tried!
