After Christmas (and Christmas Eve of course), July 4th is hands down my favorite day of the year. There is absolutely no contest. I may just be a sucker for a good, loud celebration, but something about all the stars, stripes and fireworks makes me downright giddy. This weekend we’ll be joining some of our closest friends for a big bash and enjoying all the requisite 4th of July things. Swimming, cooking out, a campfire, smores, fireworks. I can’t wait! In the meantime, I’ve rounded up some of the yummiest July 4th recipes for you. Because I’m nice and I love you.
