Burgers, Shakes, Fries and Don’t Forget the Apple Pie! When it comes to Fourth of July, are you a traditionalist or adventurous when it comes to the food? For our family, we’ve pretty much stuck to the traditional fare: grilling hot dogs, hamburgers and finishing off the meal with a swim in the pool and super-cold watermelon slices. This year, I can’t decide between the classics or something totally new. My steady, solid, routine-lovin’ husband votes for the same ol’ same ol’. But hey, I’m craving for creativity. So I need your help to take “Burgers, Shakes, Fries and Don’t Forget the Apple Pie” in a new direction. My good friend Sarah of Tastespotting actually ground her own beef to make Bacon Cheddar Cheeseburger. My kids vote for this one! You’d think these crisp fries would be massively fattening, but nope! And finish the meal off with the most decadent apple pie my mouse has ever clicked on: Doughmesstic’s Candy Apple Pie.
Those are some great ideas to start with, just to get the creative juices flowin’! May your 4th be sparkling! Jaden. Cinnamon Roll Pancakes.
