Happy early 4th, guys! How are you all going to celebrate? Is anybody thinking of having a block party? Wouldn’t that be fun, huh?!
A couple of years ago, just before the pandemic, we celebrated with several of our immediate neighbors, potluck style. We had such a good time we promised to repeat it annually. Alas, that wasn’t to be. Casualty of the pandemic.
But let’s not fret. We can still celebrate with style even if we have a private party.
I’m planning to fire up the grill. With help from the husband, of course. And make special burgers, aka coffee-rubbed burgers.
The first time I tried them, I failed to notice anything different about them. To be fair, I didn’t use as much coffee as I should. So it’s time to revisit the recipe and find out what the hype is all about.
For dessert, I’ll probably do something simple. Like these strawberries.
Dipped in white chocolate ganache and sprinkled with something sparkly and blue. It’s a red, white, and blue day after all.
Here are a few more ideas for your celebration

Omigosh, somehow I didn’t see your email. So sorry…
Another GREAT party – THANK YOU for hosting and keeping some normalcy for us during these trying times. I brought ARROZ CON POLLO con QUESO, CHICKEN THIGHS with CREAMY BACON MUSHROOM THYME SAUCE and ZESTY CREAMED CHICKEN to the party. I hope you have a FANTASTIC weekend.
Thanks, Tamy. Have a fabulous long weekend!
The coffee-rubbed burger sounds interesting, Angie! Thank you so much for hosting! Have a lovely week ahead.
You, too, Jhuls. I hope it’s not too hot where you are; it’s melting over here.
Happy 4th July. I hope you have a great celebration xx
Thanks! I just hope it won’t be too hot tomorrow.
