Our 4th of July Weekend

We had fun, old fashioned weekend full of boating, grilling, picnicking, and fireworks. Of course, there was no shortage of good food around too! We grilled some wonderful NY Strip Steaks one evening. I made chicken salad & lots of yummy picnic food for fireworks on the 4th. And, the weekend just wouldn't have been complete with out grilling some hot dogs! Here is some of the food that we ate: (I will be posting recipes, but let me know if there is something specific that you want!)

Romaine Salad with Grape Tomatoes, Cucumber, toasted Pecans, Queso Fresco with homemade, Roasted Garlic Vinaigrette dressing.

Salt Crusted, Twice Cooked Potato
NY Strip Steaks with Montreal Steak Seasoning
Chicken Salad with Green Grapes & Pecans.

French Baguette slices with Garlic & Herb Cheese Spread.

Prosciutto & White Cheddar with Red Apple slices. If you haven't tried apple & cheddar together before, you have to do this. It's a simple appetizer to put out & it's delicious. When I make it at home, I use tooth picks to make little skewers of them.

Lemon Bacca Baci with Raspberries & Blueberries

Our Spread
Chips with french onion dip, green grapes, red apple slices, white & orange cheddar cheese, green & black olives, roasted tomato bruschetta, garlic & herb cheese spread, chicken salad & sliced baguette.

We hope everyone had a happy & safe 4th of July!!
