21 Deliciously Healthy 4th of July Eats!

 

4th of July.

What’s the first word that pops into your head!?

I’m guessing that at least half of you think of GOOD FOOD.

How could you not… it’s basically the Thanksgiving of summer!

In addition to my memories of family and friends, boating, and fireworks, I think of my dear Grandma’s jello and deviled eggs, slices of juicy honey-baked ham, sweetly flavored baked beans, and an array of fresh, vibrant salads!
