    The 4th of July has always been one of my favorite holidays. I love the easy, carefree feeling of a weekend-long summer celebration without the stress and pressure of bigger holidays. And of course, I love the pride of celebrating this great country! Independence Day always brings memories of going to the lake with my family, hanging out on the water, making some delicious barbecue, and shooting off fireworks. I still love celebrating the 4th of July, even though it looks a little different now. But one thing I will always love is a festive, red, white and blue dish! So I've rounded up some fun (naturally) patriotic recipes for you to make for breakfast with your family or to share with friends at a 4th of July cookout.
