Are you ready for the 4th of July? Do you have your red, white, and blue outfit picked out, your sparklers on hand, and your grill ready to go? No? Well, I can’t help you out with the sparkler situation. You’re pretty much on your own with that one. However, I can lend a helping hand where your patriotic cookout menu is concerned. From now on, I’ll be joining several other food recipe bloggers each month to bring you a monthly meal plan, which you can use for recipe inspiration. The theme of this first month’s meal plan is “July – Patriotic/Cookout” and it’s arriving just in time to help get y’all prepared for the upcoming holiday. Make sure to check out all of the summer-inspired recipes, pin them for later use, and find some patriotic cookout inspiration.
