what is a good MENU for the 4TH OF JULY?

Answer 1

Thick sliced lean red beef, marinated pork ribs, chicken breast (bone and skin) injected with brown sugar and honey, large white potatoes variety of choice, and corn soaked in the husk. All items are placed over a large pile of white hot coals for the proper length of time for each (note ribs, chicken and potato's take the longest so start them first!)
Served with Cole Slaw and beer...You'll enjoy!
"Other than that I can tell you nothing"!

Answer 2

Stay away from the oven and use a slow cooker!

SALAD, YANKEE POT ROAST AND JELLO!

SPINACH SALAD
3 bunch fresh spinach washed and dried, or cheat and get the prewashed ones at the market
1 c dried cranberries
1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts or both.
1/4 c sunflower seeds
feta cheese
a viniagrette dressing

Mix ingredients together and add dressing before serving.


YANKEE POT ROAST
Pot roast using the slow cooker is the only way to go!
5 lb chuck roast
2 pkg lipton onion soup mix, dry
2 cans cream mushroom soup, campbells
1 whole celery bunch, diced
2 onions, diced
4 whole carrots, peeled and cut
5 potatoes, peeled and cut in 1/2
1 crushed garlic cloves
5 tbsp flour
1 Reynold's slow cooker liner, optional

The slow cooker liner makes cleaning up a snap!
In the crock pot, add cream mushroom soups, 2 cans of water, the lipton dry soups, flour and mix the ingredients well.

Add the roast and the garlic. Mix around til covered with soup mix. Add the onions and veggies. Add water to barely cover the veggies (remember the water level may go up during cooking!).

If potatoes won't fit, then cook them separately (ie: roast, mashed, etc.) Cover and turn crock pot to medium.
Cook 6-8 hours and it will be so tender!


JELLO DESSERT
3 pkgs large jello, same flavor
2 coolwhip
fresh fruits

Make the jello as on the package but use 1/2 cup less water per package. In a non metalic bowl, add jello and Add fresh fruit like fresh strawberries, grapes, chopped apples. Let it chill for 4-6 hours. Mix up the jello and add 1/2 tub of cool whip. Add more if desired. Mix well, and its like an ambrosia.

Serve in glass cups and top with more fresh fruit.

Answer 3

use a variety of food textures and temperatures. don't forget color.

why not do some fresh string beans (blanch em, grill em, roast em), fresh corn on the cob. Carrot sticks might be good.

how about some shish kabobs using chunks of beef, pork, chicken, and onions. (cook the meats ahead of time and chill. let everyone put their own kabab together, and place them on the grills).

what about a cold slaw, or crispy mixed green salad. sliced tomatoes would be good. some people enjoy sliced cucumbers soaking in vinegar. bread and butter pickles sounds good.

what about a bowl of fresh fruits cut up and mixed together.

make tooth pic kababs of finger foods

have a variety of sauces, butters, seasoning salts, and the like on hand.

flavored water -- add sliced citrus fruits to pitchers of water and chill well

get some ice cream cones and a few sherbets and ice creams to put on them

4th of July is an all day thing, so do foods that are convenient to enjoy, yet appetizing all day long.
