I love a good BBQ especially on the Fourth of July. This year I'm keeping it simple and delicious with an easy menu, a fun party playlist and a sparkling drink everyone will love. I'm busting out the Hebrew National All-Beef Franks and cooking up some quick potato fries, a festive fruit salad and a refreshing lime + mint soda. Check out our other easy recipe ideas for your next gathering!
The Menu
Grilled Hebrew National All-Beef Franks - You have to grill these for the best flavor and optimum flare. Your guests will love you for picking up the tasty dogs.
Potato Fries - Grab a bag of red potatoes from the freezer isle so they are already chopped. Then you can toss them in the oven (or toaster oven) and you have yourself a tasty and quick side dish
Festive Fruit Salad - Slice strawberries and combine with blueberries then top with a few pieces of jicama cut with a star cookie cutter. Your guests will think it took you forever but it's so quick and fun!
Lime + Mint Soda - I am a huge fan of soda water so I like to mix it up. Pour lime flavored soda water over ice, squeeze mint into the glass and drop in a few slices of strawberry and blueberry.

I picked up a few mini flags from Target for just a couple dollars to throw on the table for a little added fun. These really bring the feel of the Fourth to the party.
I hope you all have a fun and safe Fourth of July! Enjoy your weekend and Happy BBQ'ing! xo, Bri
