Happy Birthday, America! It's officially time to kick off that 4th of July party! While we love grilling all summer long, the 4th is the one day of the year when you just absolutely have to get outside and fire that thing up.
Whether you're heading out to a campground or just just hanging out in the back yard, there's no better way to celebrate America's birthday than by grilling your favorite foods, cracking a beer, and putting on some patriotic tunes while gathering with friends.
To help you sort out any last-minute changes to your menu, we've put together dozens of our favorite recipes, from sauces that'll upgrade your steaks and sausages, to delicious 4th of July desserts, sides, and appetizers. So brush up on your grilling skills and get ready!
Best dessert at the 4th of July cookout? This no bake cheesecake. We used super ripe freestone peaches tossed with a little honey! The results are pretty incredible.
What to do when you've got a couple farm-stand peaches on the counter and they're a little soft? Puree them into juice and use them with your favorite beer to make a sweet, light, and super refreshing shandy!
This quick-cooking snack is a fun and tasty surprise for guests ("You put cheese and watermelon on the grill?") as well as an easy warm-up to make before getting the main dishes onto the grill.
With spicy peppers and a ton of fresh herbs, this sauce is just the thing for dressing up a standard grilled steak—or a burger, or chicken, or sausages...
This fun take on the classic Tequila Sunrise recalls that old adage about sailors being wary of red skies at dawn. And we'd concur: This is definitely a better drink for the evening hours.
Who doesn't love a cold, boozy treat on a hot day? These easy-to-make pops blend fresh watermelon with a touch of orange liqueur for a decidedly grown-up dessert.
Stoke up the fire (or turn on the grill) before the fireworks, and heat up this classic campfire dessert. To make it extra good, we've got a serious chocolate bar upgrade for you.
