It’s the 4th of July! And you know what that means? Food! Really, really good food! Most Americans eat hamburgers and hot dogs on the 4th, but grilled meats and veggies are always popular, too.
What will it be for you today? A cheeseburger? A hot dog? Some pasta salad and baked beans? Some corn and ice cream? Or perhaps you’re not doing anything special for the 4th today and you’re just eating your regular meal (come on, not even a hot dog?!).

Today, I’m smoking turkey breast and legs! Happy Birthday America!

Then sit on front porch and watch fire works.
Send time and location….please!?
Today we’re steaming a big pot of Snow Crabs, with hot melted butter, NJ fresh corn on the cob, and cocktails and beer. Just a small family group. We’ll be out on the patio, unless it gets too hot. Big storms last night, with 2 inches of rain in about two hours. We’re in Salem County farm country. At least the farm fields got a good drink.
Dh is grilling steaks! No fireworks for us tho.
Clear liquids for a routine colonoscopy prep today but we had bbq ribs and baked potatoes yesterday
What’s up with colonoscopies tomorrow? You’re the second commenter mentioning that, Thelma. Good luck! And have a great Fourth! 😀 –Diane at RVtravel.com
Grilled Shrimp and veggies
You just helped me decide my menu for today!
Going to the Haitian Community Organization’s celebration in Evanston, IL! Looking forward to food we don’t normally have!
BBQ chicken, buttermilk biscuits, potato salad, corn on the grill the vanilla ice cream with strawberries/blueberries. It’s been that way for 50 years.
smoked Ribs, coleslaw and NA beer.
Dungeness crab and home sour dough bread. Lots of butter!
Where do you live? Washington??? We are jealous! Love dungeness. We are in California where every year they make more rules limiting the crab take. Season delayed again this year. Then we travel to Florida mid Jan to mid Mar. So missing a good part of the season, if in fact it even starts!
Also having homemade coleslaw and baked beans
Getting ready for a colonoscopy tomorrow, so nothing but clear liquids today.
Bummer, Fred. Well, we hope you have a good Fourth of July anyway. And good luck tomorrow.🤞 –Diane at RVtravel.com
After reading that, I might skip dinner now!!!! 😉 🙂
Not only Fred, but also Thelma! At least she had her BBQ yesterday (planned ahead). Have a safe but fun Fourth, Spike! 😀 –Diane at RVtravel.com
So far an English muffin.
In WI, we eat Brats
North Dakota too – with diced onions, mustard and homemade zucchini relish and homemade potato salad – you betcha!
Smoking bourbon marinated chuck roast, jalapeno poppers, smoked green beans and cucumber-onion-tomato marinate!
We are grilling burgers and already planned on some corn-on-the-cob but now I am going to try grilling the corn with your featured recipe today! Happy and safe July 4th everyone.
We are making tacos along with corn on the cob, watermelon and margaritas.
