Are you visiting family or hosting 4th of July celebrations? Or simply just wanting to make a recipe for a summer gathering this coming weekend?! I want to share 20 recipes if you need a dessert, drink or side dish for the 4th of July weekend!! These are all perfect for the 4th of July holiday.

If you are going to a cookout or hosting your own, I love to make homemade cookies. I share lots of my crowd-pleasing favorites below. It’s easy and you don’t need anything special to serve them, people can just grab and enjoy! I think that is why I love cookies so much, they are so easy and portable.

And if you want a fun cocktail, the ones below are some favorites!

And if you need a side dish… that quinoa salad is our GO-TO for a cookout!
