Who doesn’t love an excuse for a festive themed meal?  And what better reason than the celebration of our very own independence?  Sounds like the perfect time to play with your food.  Here’s a little sneak peek into our own celebration at home.

Citrus-Bourbon Tea and Red Sangria.

Smoked Wahoo Dip (my husband smoked a Wahoo I caught in the Bahamas last month).

Conch Fritters (with Conch we got in the Bahamas).

We all know there are few things more American than a hot dog.  Why not take it another step and go big with a Chili Dog Bar?

And, of course, no gathering would be complete without an array of delicious and festive desserts.

We hope you and your loved ones had a great time celebrating the freedoms that we are blessed enough to enjoy.
