Red, White & Delicious

Happy 4th of July! With hordes of tourists descending upon DC, plus temperatures still hovering around the 100-degree mark, Stephen and I are as grateful as ever that we can watch the national fireworks show, along with others in the area, right from our apartment building. While I definitely love this holiday and have braved the in-city festivities plenty of times, this year, I'd rather do without the crowds and especially the hot, stuffy portable toilets -- yuck!

What I won't do without? Tasty eats and treats like the ones below. Visit my Food & Drink inspiration board on Pinterest for links to these recipes, plus tons more. (For what it's worth, I tried embedding individual links into this post, but alas, Blogger appeared to be suffering from a major case of the unfriendlies.)









How are you celebrating today?
