So often when we’re having a get together or celebrating a holiday, it’s tempting to keep things simple or rely on bags of chips and store bought potato salad. While I have nothing against either of these things 🙂 part of the enjoyment of hosting is putting a little effort and creativity into the meal and watching as people eat it up! Any of these Fourth of July recipes will wow your guests and leave you with a great satisfaction knowing that you fed, nourished and entertained like a superstar!
