I don’t know about you, but I’m always a last minute menu planner when it comes to holidays. I just never know what to make. The self-inflicted pressure of picking the right dishes to serve is too much for me sometimes. So what ends up happening is that I procrastinate until the very end, which then causes even more pressure, but I will say that I get there in the end. I always tell myself the next holiday will be different. I’ll be more prepared. Of course, I end up slipping back into my old habits and it’s procrastination-city population 1, once again. With that being said, here we are, the day before the 4th of July and nothing has changed. This time around though, I felt like I could help my fellow last minute planners. If there is anyone out there who is just like me, then maybe we all need a little help picking some last minute recipe ideas. Here is the first ever round-up on the site, Fourth of July edition. Below you’ll find a gathering of past recipes which would be great on any 4th of July table. Above all, I hope you all have a great and safe holiday.

4th of July is right around the corner, and in case you weren’t aware of it, it just so happens to be one of my favorite holidays. Sure it’s partly because of the fireworks, and partly because of the red, white and blue everywhere, but it’s mostly for all of the summer BBQ foods we get devour on this particular day. It’s a time for grilled burgers, hot dogs, chips and dips, and let’s not forget buffalo wings. Although, now that I think about it, we’re always looking for excuses to eat buffalo wings. Well, I’m here to tell you that you really don’t need an excuse. Go ahead and eat all of the buffalo chicken dishes your heart desires. These loaded buffalo chicken sammies take sweet Hawaiian rolls and fills them with a delicious salad of chicken, celery, carrots, bleu cheese, red onion, ranch and of course buffalo hot sauce. It’s the perfect bite of sweet and savory. They’re also topped with crushed blue corn tortilla chips because I’m forever in love with chips in my sandwiches, and something tells me you just might be too. Make these for your 4th of July gathering!
