Check out #FireworksAndFood July 4th BBQ

by Michelle Nahom at Foodie.com

We usually throw a party for July 4th, complete with fireworks. This year we’ll have family in as well as friends, and we’re looking forward to a great celebration.

For us, the food is a big part of any party. Some people concentrate on party decor; we concentrate on the food. It’s not unusual for us to start planning the menu well in advance, with some old favorites and trying out a few new recipes we are considering.

One of those new recipes that I decided to try out ahead was this (Skinny) Mexican Grilled Corn from the Cookie Rookie. It looked really appealing from the picture, although the “skinny” threw me off a little bit. I don’t usually think too much about calories, although maybe I should. When I looked at the recipe, I was curious as to how it would turn out. I would never have thought to put Greek yogurt and sour cream on my corn on the cob! But because it looked so good, I just had to try it! It definitely met expectations…it was delicious! We have family visiting so I made it last night for dinner. Every single piece disappeared, and several people commented on how good it was.

The recipes I put together for you in this #FireworksAndFood July 4th collection has some spicy selections to go along with the fireworks, and plenty of red, white, and blue too! I also included a few of my own recipes, because they are tried and true family and friend favorites. I hope you will enjoy them as well!
