Favorites List: 4th of July & Summer


I didn't really plan a specific 4th of July post, but I did go through all of my past posts and created a list of some of my favorites for this summery season.  Take a gander and you just may find the perfect dish for Cousin Eddie's barbeque or Aunt Edna's picnic lunch.

Plan on grilling?  Make these grilled peaches with cashew cream.

Need some raw and fresh appetizers?  Try the peachy guacamole or the lemon dill sunflower pâté.

Want a frozen treat to cool off in the July heat? Whip up the sweet lime & mint granita.

Serving some vegetarians at your fête?  Make these quinoa stuffed avocados or these stuffed portobellos.

Need a crunchy and satisfying side salad?  Try this shredded brussel sprout salad.

Feel like baking a fruity dessert to go along with some good ol' fashioned vanilla ice cream?  Make the mixed berry crumble or the  stone fruit galette

Looking for a simple, portable dessert?  The lemon blackberry macaroons are quick to make and easy to pack up and take along.

Going for a long hike, ride, or swim?  Make and take along these peanut butter banana granola bars or these blueberry pie "lara" bars. 

Have a lovely holiday wherever you may be and whatever you may eat!
