Strike up the band (or iPod), wave your American flag and get cooking. It's Independence Day. Time for showing who's boss at the grill, making sure your sides measure up to your entrees, getting Patriotic with classic, colorful desserts and having lots of refreshments on hand to keep cool. And most importantly, thank your lucky stars and stripes for being a part of this great country of ours! Have a great 4th, everyone!
