39 Gluten-Free Recipes for the Fourth of July

Normally I am ecstatic when Friday rolls around.  But not this Friday!  This Friday is the last full day of my Colorado vacation.  As you can imagine, I am a bit disappointed about this.  It has been an amazing week so far, and I do not want it to end… at all.  Such is life, I guess.

Luckily, we still have the weekend ahead of us.  And next week is a four-day work week thanks to the Fourth of July holiday.  So I really should not be complaining too much.

Speaking of the Fourth, have you given some thought into what you plan on cookin’ up?  Yeah, me neither.  At least I hadn’t until I wrote this post!  But lucky for you, I have plenty of gluten-free appetizers, side dishes, main dishes, desserts, and drinks coming your way that are perfect for the festivities.
