I can't decide if I am going to Kitchenelf's house our Kadesma's house - yum! We opted for easy - we are going to my sister's house - lots of nummy snacks and then ordering Lou Malnati's deep dish Chicago pizza - a little different this year. I have Paul Dean's Ooey Gooey Butter Banana Cake in the oven for dessert. A day of eating all day long - what could be better?

 

[YT2095]

I thought about maybe doing some BANGERs and mash, maybe a little wild ROCKET salad, and CHERRY BOMB pie

seriously, we`re having Thai green curried Chicken with chestnut mushroom rice.

 

[BBQ Mikey]

Close friends of mine are getting married this weekend, so the plan is to spend some time with them for the 4th. That would mean BBQ Mikey won't be master of the grill on the holiday. I have no idea what theyre havin...

 

[LEFSElover]

no one has mentioned what they'd like to eat.
one thing for sure, it's gonna be hot in Vegas today, mighty hot!
best get up now and get to the market and see what they've got there.
whatever tempts me, I'll get. don't know how many I'll be cooking for.
the youngest DS has a great barbeque and a wonderful kitchen for me to play in.
Happy 4th of July everyone​

As long as the rain holds off (which looks iff-y), we're grilling assorted veggies, balsamic chicken, Italian sausages and a few pork chops I wanted to use up. We're keeping sides easy with just fresh green beans and corn and a bunch of muniches. Dessert is fresh strawberries and blueberries with whipped cream.

 

[Angie]

We're all gonna meet at my brother's to watch the parade and grill..bring your own meat. Hubby and I are having grilled BBQ chicken. I'm bringing a cold pasta salad of some sort. Mom is bringing raw veggies and dip, fresh fruit and a strawberry pie. Not sure what my sister will bring, other than my nieces and nephew!!!
