Our nation’s very own holiday is just around the corner. That means—time with extended family, a few too many beers, and more food that you probably know what to do with. Put a little southern spin on your 4 th festivities this year if you know what’s good for ya. I don’t care if you’re from Pittsburgh or Milwaukee, a healthy dose of Southern cooking is something everyone can enjoy. You’re family will worship you, I promise!
2. Corn-off-the-Cobb-Bread
You’ve never had cornbread like this before. This fresh out of the oven southern essential leaves whole kernels inside the bread for an authentic corn-on-the-cob taste. Yum!
3. Peach Cobbler
Pretend you’re a Southerner on this glorious July day by making a fresh baked peach cobbler. Seriously, if you think today is a day to skip dessert you are sadly mistaken. Plop a big ‘ole scoop of creamy vanilla ice cream on top of a piece of this fruity masterpiece.
4. Baked Beans Southern Style
Not to spill the beans or anything, but this is my all time favorite southern barbecue food. So sweet and satisfying, you’re going to want another helping. Beans are a great source of protein so why the heck not?
5.Southern Fried Chicken
It’s just so beautiful. Fried chicken is a southern staple that anyone at a barbecue will go crazy over. It’s just the right amount of juicy and tender. This recipe gives you step-by-step instructions to perfect this delectable entrée. Is your mouth watering yet?
6. Sweet Tea
Quench your thirst on the Fourth with a refreshing glass of homemade sweet tea. It’s best to make this chilly drink by pitcher because you know everyone will be wanting seconds….and thirds…probably fourths if I’m being honest. It’s just that good.
Now, isn’t that better than you’re boring old hot dog and watermelon for this beautiful holiday that celebrates our beloved homeland? Whether or not you’re from the South, the Fourth of July is a great opportunity to explore new foods and share it amongst family and friends. Alright my people, get out there and whip up some of these Uncle Sam approved recipes!
