Fourth of July Menu, Sans the Grill

                                             
The Fourth of July usually involves meat and a hot grill but we decided to do something different this year. With the summer heating up to over 100 degrees by noon the grill is not exactly the place we want to hang out.

So we decided to cool our 4th of July down with some amazingly easy dishes that will spark an East Coast Vibe for your Red, White and Blue Holiday!

We couldn’t think of anything more American & East Coast than the famous Lobster Roll Sandwich!
I tend to be more of a purist when it comes to the Lobster Roll. I don’t want to add to much to the mixture since it would overpower the flavor of a sweet lobster. So try out our Lobster Roll  for your 4th of July. Also I love the fact that the buns have a dual purpose here.  For the kids we served the buns up with hot dogs which made this an easy meal to accommodate adults and kids.

Going with our Red, White and Blue Theme we experimented a bit and came up with a our newest creation Blue Cheese Fritters that are an adaptation of rice balls. Add a green salad with a lemon vinaigrette and your food menu is complete.  To finish this off set up a number 3 bucket with ice, beer and wine and you are so set for your holiday. Grab some sparklers and set out for the fun!
