Archive for the ‘Holiday Menus’ Category

This is one of my favorite holidays for food and fun. It may be 100 degrees outside but that hardly seems to matter when we sit in the shade, enjoy a good beer and fire up the grill. We love to serve some of our favorite BBQ delights with some cold or room temperature sides, some organic brewed tea (sweet tea is a southern favorite but we opt for plain or with a touch of stevia), and for dessert a peach cobbler.

This year we’re on a tight budget but the local Sprouts store had some good things on sale so we can still enjoy our holiday together. On our menu:

Baby Back Ribs
Dawn’s Texas Potato Salad
Creamed Corn
Grilled Vegetables (mix of zucchini, egg plant, onions, or whatever is ripe or on sale)

Beverages: Texas Beer, Coconut Kefir Water, “Sweet” Tea

Dessert

Peach Cobbler or Fresh Watermelon

Look back for our recipes as we add them and I hope you all have a happy, healthy and naturally Texan July 4th Celebration!
