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.


Summer Vegetable Recipes

Every season is special in its own way, and each has its own offerings of fresh produce. In this day and age, we can get most types of produce all year long from various sources. However, local, seasonal products are usually tastier and less expensive. For example, there is no comparison between the taste of tomatoes in winter and those from your own garden or local farmers. I have chosen summer vegetables that can be found anywhere, such as tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, squash, beans, corn and cucumbers. I listed some of my favorite recipes for showcasing the produce in main dishes, side dishes and other presentations in which they are the main or key ingredient. Most of the recipes are quick, easy and healthy. Although there are other types of summer vegetables, what I chose are the most popular and very easy to find. This page does not include all of the recipes posted on TerisKitchen.com that use summer vegetables. You can find more using the search box or by browsing the Recipes, Features and Resources Index.
