Stars, stripes and seasonal delights
Savor summer with these festive recipes
THE FOURTH OF JULY is one of my favorite holidays—the perfect time to slow down and soak in the best of summer. It’s a day meant for easy food that keeps you out of the kitchen and in the moment. Whether you’re hosting a family barbecue or spending the day by the pool, having a mix of simple, crowd-pleasing dishes is key.
This month, enjoy soft and chewy cake mix cookies, bursting with patriotic color. They come together in less than 30 minutes, using just two bowls. Pair them with a Kentucky heirloom tomato tart. With a flaky crust, ripe local tomatoes and a cheesy filling, this tart is an easy yet elegant appetizer, highlighting the season’s best produce. I know y’all will love them!
