Just in case any of you are looking for more recipes for your July Fourth celebrations, here are some wonderful dishes from several of my favorite food bloggers:

I must confess, since it’s summer and the hot weather has finally set in, I’ve been doing a lot of raw eating, that’s what inspired me to add the lovely recipe above from Brigitte Mars.  On really hot days, I make a raw blender salad in my [vitamix] with greens from my garden, avocado and nuts.  I’m loving eating this way while the weather is warm and my digestive fires are high.

I hope you all have a lovely Fourth of July and enjoy the weekend!
