Independence Day is another one of those “food” holidays, when no one seems to go hungry family and friends gather to enjoy each other’s company. And as July 4 obviously falls during warm weather, many gatherings include potlucks, picnics, and marathon grilling sessions.

The bottom line is, you need a few delicious recipes appropriate for the holiday because with the 4th falling on a weekend this year, you may have three or four days worth of entertaining to plan.

The good folks at BHG.com are offering a slideshow that presents their favorite recipes for a Fourth of July celebration just like yours. Ranging from Beef Brisket to Cinnamon Candied Apples and from Deviled Egg Salad to Twin Oaks Almond Iced Tea, you can find main dishes, sides, desserts, and beverages that your guests will love this weekend.
