Summer Menu Round-Up #4 – 4th of July Edition

All the recipes you need, from appetizers to dessert, to plan the perfect 4th of July celebration, in one convenient spot.

Since our kids were young, we’ve always spent the 4th of July at our cabin up in Northern Minnesota.  We’re never quite sure who’s going to be there, but it’s always a good time and I always look forward to it.  Some years it’s a large group of people and other years it’s been a more intimate gathering.  We’ve had family come in from out of state and the kids often invite friends to join us.  Basically, all are welcome!

No matter the size of the group, we always have fun.  There’s plenty of time spent on the lake doing water sports and then relaxing on the beach. At the end of the day, there’s always a big meal eaten on the deck.

I’m always looking for new recipe ideas to keep things fresh for our celebration and so I’m really excited about this round-up.  This is a collection of  50 recipes contributed by a great group of my fellow bloggers as well as a few from mwah.  The collection covers the whole meal from appetizers to desserts and of course a collection of refreshing beverages.

So grab a cup of coffee and enjoy browsing through all these great recipes.  Whether you’re hosting a celebration yourself or you’re contributing a dish or two to share at a celebration you’ve been invited to, you’re sure to find everything you need in this collection!
