Red, White and Blue Potato Salad

The 4th of July means parades and fireworks and of course, all the good food. Pancake breakfasts, dinners on the BBQ, eating pie while watching fireworks.We have an epic 4th of July Roundup to cover all of your food needs in one post!

Let’s start our 4th of July with something cool to drink. This fruit filled refreshing sangria will be everyone’s favorite drink. Non-alchoholic and just the right amount of soda and fresh fruit combined to make a festive beverage for your table.

Southern Buttermilk Pancakes. Easy to whip up. Light, fluffy, buttery, beautiful stacked and served with blueberries, strawberries or raspberries and fresh whipped cream.

What’s grilling? We love this easy to make ahead kabob recipe. Lemon, soda, chicken and veggies combined to make this tender and juicy main dish for your barbecue. Kabobs are such a fun party dish!

If you’re looking for quick and easy and satisfying for everyone at your gathering, this is your main dish! Grilled Flank Steak Sandwiches are a meal worth celebrating.

Apple and Cabbage Slaw is a Foster Family favorite and has been on our picnic table for over 20 years! Crunchy, sweet, a little tart. It’s the perfect side for a summer dinner.

If you have been hesitant to make Dutch Oven baked beans, this is your sign to make the beans! This simple recipe is fool proof and who doesn’t love a pan of beans baking over coals?!

What is the 4th of July without potato salad? Our all time favorite potato salad is actually a German version of potato salad that has been adapted to American tastebuds. Our “Almost German Potato Salad” is best served warm, but it can also be made ahead. Every time I make it, I’m asked for the recipe.

Patriotic Fruit Tart is such. fun and festive dessert. Can be made ahead and everyone loved this treat!

Our Bountiful blueberry pie is the perfect dessert for the 4th. Blueberries, lattice crust, or cut out stars to make a festive top crust by laying on top of pie overlapping each piece.
