In our family, the Fourth of July is all about the classic summertime food!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ll share our menu for this year\u2019s big celebration, then include a round-up of other great ideas you could make this year!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Easy Menu for the Fourth of July<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We love this menu for its make-ahead, flavorful foods that keep you (mostly) out of the kitchen when your guests arrive!<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Easy Make-Ahead Baby Back Ribs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Baby Back Ribs<\/a> have been a tradition in our family for decades. I used to bake them in a big roasting pan in my oven. But from the moment I tried them out the pressure cooker, I\u2019ve never looked back!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I love this recipe because the ribs cook up quick and juicy, hold together on the grill so you can caramelize them, and are fall-apart tender on your plate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TIP: <\/strong>Now that my family has grown, I make two batches of these ribs. I’ll pressure cook them the night before, then let them cool and chill in the refrigerator until my crowd comes over and we’re ready to grill.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Fresh Steamed Corn on the Cob<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you’re like me, Corn on the Cob<\/a> is a must<\/em> this time of year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Corn cooked in the pressure cooker tastes SO much better than when it\u2019s boiled on the stove.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Fresh Summertime Fruit<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We do tons of fresh fruit, including watermelon, pineapple, cherries, and whatever else smells in season at the farmer’s market. (Our local farmer’s market sells yellow and orange watermelons, which are always a hit with the kids!) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not sure how to cut a watermelon<\/a> or how to cut a pineapple<\/a>?<\/strong> Check out my easy, step-by-step tutorials over at Barbara Bakes. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Different Desserts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We often have a variety of desserts, and this year we\u2019re definitely including our Red White and Blue Berry Cheesecake<\/a>. It’s a creamy, silky smooth cheesecake topped with juicy, sweet fresh strawberries and blueberries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ll also have some cookies for the grandkids (and adults) to snack on between sparklers, pop-its, and fireworks. This year we\u2019re planning Caramelitas<\/a>, Lemon Bar Cookie Cups<\/a>, and the kids will help decorate our Fourth of July Cranberry Shortbread Cookies<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
