Fourth of July Recipes and Menu

Saturday, July 4, 2026

The Fourth of July is a day to celebrate America's independence with family, friends and lots of good food. I have posted my favorite menu for the occasion featuring grilled baby back pork ribs with molasses barbecue sauce and, for those who prefer, grilled chicken, either of which can be cooked indoors if the weather does not cooperate. When they arrive, guests can help themselves to a jalapeno cheese dip served with store-bought or homemade tortilla chips. The side dishes include a delicious pasta and parmesan cheese salad, corn on the cob, baked beans and, a Pennsylvania Dutch favorite, pepper cabbage salad. For dessert, I chose my mother's fruit cobbler served with store-bought or homemade vanilla ice cream. My favorite is peach cobbler, but you can use any fresh fruit or berries that are in season in your area. Most of the dishes can be prepared in advance or require minimal last minute effort, as described in the menu preparation notes. For alternate choices, every recipe includes links to similar dishes. I hope you enjoy.


Grilling Recipes

I love to grill, whether for a gathering of friends and family or just for everyday cooking because it is easy, generally healthy, usually requires less clean-up and tastes so good. This is a collection of my favorite recipes for the grill, including meats, poultry, seafood and vegetables, as well as some shared recipes submitted by contributors. Although I do most of my outdoor cooking during the summer, there are other times of the year when I just cannot resist. For convenience, I use the gas grill most often, but I also have a kettle grill for those times when I want that extra smoky flavor. When deciding what to cook on the grill, use your imagination. If you have a grill with a lid, you can use it just like an oven. The grills today can do just about anything that can be done indoors. So, have fun, experiment with your own ideas, and enjoy. If you do not have access to an outdoor grill or if the weather does not cooperate with your plans, any of the recipes posted can be made indoors with a grill pan, broiler or, in some cases, in the oven.
