Run the Stars & Stripes up your flagpole and get out your checkered tablecloth. We the people declare it’s time for a red, white and blue cookout to celebrate America’s independence.

Our 4th of July picnic menu offers delicious choices that let you show the true colors of the USA.

We’ve got the reds…
Ripe red tomatoes and juicy fresh watermelon.

…the whites…
Crumbled blue cheese (it’s white and blue!), and grilled chicken breasts (tender white meat).

…and the blue…
Fresh blue potatoes, roasted with rosemary.

So before you light your sparklers or head to your neighborhood fireworks show, try our Independence Day recipes and enjoy a fantastic—and patriotic—picnic.
