Wanna know what we’re cooking on this Independence Day?

Burgers – like most of America, I would suppose.

I mean, it doesn’t get any more American than burgers for Independence Day, does it?

But if you long for MORE than just burgers (or want some really great burger ideas) click here for some yummo July 4th recipes.

You’ll find recipes for patriotic desserts, grilled chicken and lots of other palate-pleasing fare.

Have fun this Independence Day and let’s all remember why we celebrate – this is the greatest country in the world!

It’s being touted as the “Giant Meatball You Must Try Before You Die.”

Well, that sounds promising. I’m in!

It’s a one-pound meatball made with high-quality ground beef, onion, garlic, spices, cheeses and more. Music to your ears? Mine, too!

You can read all about this beautiful ball of meat here and get the full recipe to try out at home. If you go on this adventure in the kitchen, be sure and make a few because you just might eat an entire meatball yourself. I personally have been known to do that. Share the love!

Fire up the grill, it’s summer! (At least it is in my mind.)

Try cooking something you’ve never tried before. Like steak with a chimichurri sauce (doesn’t that look yummy????).

Or a simple beef kebab with assorted veggies – or even fruit!

Working Mother has some great grilling ideas for us to try and conquer this summer. Check them out here. And while the grilling part is fun, the eating part is more fun!

So, go – grill to your heart’s content!
