It’s not too late to plan your Fourth of July menu. Thanks to zillions of online recipes, you don’t even have to open a cookbook… unless of course you want to.

In the year that I have been writing for Chefshopper, I have written several recipe related posts. Many would be suitable for a Fourth of July celebration. I hope you take the time to read some of my favorites.

Bacon Explosion – this recipe was literally an overnight success, last January. I realize it isn’t a healthy recipe, but if you only eat it once a year it isn’t that bad. If you’re looking for something to replace traditional Fourth of July hamburgers, this is it.

Deep-Fried Deviled Eggs - deviled eggs are another traditional Fourth of July food. This recipe takes the incredible, edible, egg one step further. It comes to you compliments of Pat and Gina Neely, of Food Network fame. (Again, I suggest only eating these occasionally.)

This recipe for Pineapple Ice Cream is both easy and delicious. I’ve made it several times with great success. It is light and satisfying, a perfect holiday BBQ dessert.

Do you have a quick and easy Fourth of July recipe you’d like to share? If so, I’d love to learn more about it.
