Summer Grill is for the month of July, but there is so much more.
🍅 ~ The Internet
- Intelligence is knowing a tomato is a fruit.
- Wisdom is knowing not to use it in a fruit salad.
- Philosophy is wondering if this makes ketchup a smoothie.
This is the big summer holiday celebrating the birth of the United States.
“And the rocket’s red flare,”… which Francis Scott Keys wrote in what would become the United States national anthem, actually refers to the War of 1812 and the Congreve rockets, which were not invented until 1804. Still, every year, upwards of 20,000 people injure themselves with fireworks and scare pets so much that they wind up running away to find themselves in overwhelmed kill shelters. So, can we please dispense with fireworks already?
For your celebrations, we have some recipes you will like and products we recommend.

California Slaw Burger
California Slaw Burger is one of our favorites for health and taste reasons. It stands out because of the healthy, crisp coleslaw and wheat germ in the burger itself. Why can’t a burger be healthy and tasty?

How about some smokey baked beans with your burger? These baked beans are even easier from the Instant Pot!
Dessert

When bananas are too ripe to eat out of hand, give them a second chance in Banana Bread with cream cheese frosting.
