I like to see a man proud of the place he lives

It’s July this this weekend, an important holiday in the USA.  I have no idea what traditional Independence Day food is in the USA, because, obviously we do not celebrate that here in England,  So, I’ve chosen some nice healthy dishes for this weekend.

From Tieghan Gerard at Half Baked Harvest we have this melon basil burrata salad with crispy prosciutto.  I really like the look of this dish

Tiffany at Creme de la Crumb has this super recipe for cilantro lime marinated steak with corn salsa.  Can’t get much more American than this.

From In Diane’s Kitchen we have this easy ginger soy glazed chicken.  Ginger goes really well with chicken, and it’s so very good for you.

Jessica Merchant at How Sweet Eats has this fabulous looking collection of 25 recipes for July 4th.  I have chosen to feature these smokey blood orange BBQ ribs with avocado butter greens.  Enjoy

Finally for this week we have 59 easy 4th of July recipes from Good Housekeeping.  I’ve chosen to feature something different, a grilled leek potato salad.

And, these charred shrimp, leek, and asparagus skewers.  I happen to like leeks.
