- Potato Salad
- Sweet and Spicy Chicken Legs (if you want to experiment, check out reader ideas in the comments)
- BBQ Chicken Legs on the Grill
- Berry Shortcake
- Peanut Butter Cookie Pudding
- Banana Split Dessert
- Peaches and Cream Dessert
- Raspberry Sherbet
Our plan for this weekend includes cleaning, decluttering, and painting. I did buy a few sparklers and I’m sure we’ll throw some kind of meat on the grill.
What are your weekend plans? What will you be cooking?
I ADORE 4th of July Menus! The Peaches and Cream Dessert sounds amazing! Might have to bring that to the potluck tomorrow!
We’re heading to my mom and dad’s for the weekend. On the 4th, we’re doing a big brunch with breakfast casserole and muffins, then grilling the traditional hamburgers and hot dogs that night. I’ve heard rumors of shish-kabobs tomorrow–I hope they’re true!
Have a great weekend!
Thanks for the ideas for the fourth. Hope you enjoy your weekend.
Great ideas for July Fourth!
It is ALL ABOUT strawberry shortcake for me. Yum, Yum, Yum! Happy 4th!
Funny–we are having a major decluttering extravaganza tomorrow! 9am-2pm, throwing out most of what we haven’t used in the last 12 months. Sunday we’re going to some friends for a cookout–think we’ll take the potato/parsnip/carrot combo you posted a while back.
The food looks fantastic! Great picnic ideas! Thanks!
