It’s the weekend! Finally. And a long weekend for 4th of July at that! We are playing it low key this year and staying our KC. Plus Mother Nature is supposedly going to ruin everything in the midwest, so hoping so she plays nice and we are able to have our BBQ. Put either way, I think tasty food and a few margarita’s will still put a smile on everyone’s face!

With 4th of July Monday, we have a delicious spread fit for every BBQ! Southwestern-style taco dip, Teriyaki Turkey Burgers, and a Berry Angel Food Cake!  Be sure to stop back every Saturday for your weekly fix of daily entrees as well as a breakfast, lunch, snack and dessert! Just click on the photo or link to see the recipe.

Happy 4th of July!

ENTREE

Fire up the grill on the 4th of July and make these spectacular Teriyaki Turkey Burgers with Grilled Pineapple and Onions. The grilled toppings on these burgers put them over the top!

DESSERT

Light Berry Angel Food Cake is an easy and patriotic 15 minute dessert with only 5 ingredients. Angel food cake is layered with a luscious white chocolate and coconut Cool Whip layer and topped with fresh berries for a guilt-free low fat treat!

This Skinny Baked Mexican Flautas Recipe is made lighter with a few ingredient swaps. Whole Wheat tortillas are filled with ground turkey, corn, black beans, refried beans, cheese, and spices, then baked instead of fried.

Compliment the spicy corn salsa with this fresh Summer Citrus Avocado Salad. It is filled with fresh blackberries, avocado, spicy arugula, and vibrant citrus then finished with a Citrus Vinaigrette.

Cod fillets are coated in a coconut almond crust and pan fried to perfection in this Coconut Almond Crusted Cod with Pineapple Peach Salsa!
