Fourth of July is Independence Day

Independence Day honors the birthday of the United States of America and the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776. It's a day of picnics and patriotic parades, a night of concerts and fireworks, and a reason to fly the American flag.
To add to our perfect Hamburger for our picnics lunch and dinners, this year I will share some of my Grilled recipes and a few of my new Grilled Vegetables recipes.
