Happy Independence Day! Or almost anyway. For those of you taking your holiday early (me!), I wish you a long weekend full of fun, freedom, and fireworks. Oh yeah, and good food! That’s where this 4th of July Menu comes in….
4th of July has almost become synonymous with cookouts. And contrary to popular belief, you can stay on track while dining alfresco. It might take a bit more effort. It will take more will power to stay away from those cookies and baked beans. But I promise you can do it!
I have compiled a 4th of July menu chalked full of protein and deliciousness for this Red, White, and Blue weekend. I mean just look at this….
Firework Lemonade
Grilled Brats
Tomato Mozza Salad
Grilled Peaches
Who would be upset with this on their plate?! Not me, that’s for sure. Now if you are not hosting the cookout, don’t fret. Just offer to bring a dish. That way you know that at least one thing at the cookout will fit with your lifestyle.
Wishing you a safe and happy 4th of July! ~Lauren
