Happy 4th of July from NC Health Plans! I wanted to find the very best recipe to share in celebration of our Independence Day, but the truth is I couldn’t decide on one. I was thinking about everything from cupcakes to BBQ to macaroni salad. I guess the 4th of July just makes me think about food – and all kinds of it! This holiday also reminds me of my southern roots. To this day, my very favorite 4th of July celebration happens in the little town of Sparta, North Carolina. Up in the mountains and close to my mom, residents of Sparta celebrate Independence Day with a little parade, featuring everything from the mayor in a convertible to a kid on a riding lawn mower. Some of my favorites are the decorated golf carts carrying both owners and their furry friends. No one celebrates this country’s independence quite like residents of the south!
And that includes southern food. Fried chicken, coleslaw, hot dogs, baked beans, banana pudding and brownies – no one does it better than a good old southern grandmother. Personally, I am partial to my mom’s potato salad and a simple slice of sweet watermelon.
Since I just couldn’t decide, I am including this link where you can peruse 18 different 4th of July recipes, including everything from a Fried Green Tomato Burger to a Southern Summer Succotash. And for those of us with a sweet tooth, there’s Country Cupcakes and a Can’t Miss Blueberry Crisp. My mouth is watering just thinking about it and we hope yours will too!
Happy Independence Day from BCBSNC and all of us at NCHealthPlans! We hope you find a good recipe, cook a good meal and enjoy a day of freedom and fun with your family and friends!
