Celebrating another 4th on the roof

celebrations, cooking, entertaining, family, friends, holidays

Once again, we hosted our friends to a BBQ for the 4th and shared our rooftop view of the downtown SD fireworks.  This year, I tried a few new recipes that could be made ahead to accompany the simple burgers, brats and cedar-plank salmon.  Beer and root beer floats were the focus of dessert along with ice cream sundaes with homemade sauces and all-American apple pie.

I think every one had a great time enjoying the company and celebration.

Menu:

  • Burgers
    • Accompaniments:  Bacon, cheese, mushrooms, red onion, lettuce, tomato, 1,000 Island, mayo, mustard, ketchup
