Sorry for the lack of pictures. I was super busy that day.
4th of July. What makes me smile is while driving around to buy groceries, I smell smokey grill everywhere... A smell that means company of people enjoying a hopefully great grilled meal. I find that grilling food for your guest is the easiest way of entertaining. Almost no prep needed. Just buy your protein and vegetables. Season or marinate, then grill!
I don't use different spices when I grill. I think that the smokey taste the grill gives is enough seasoning! When I plan my menu, I first think of my Filipino family then my non Filipino husband and in laws. I can say that my staple of protein on my grill is skirt steak. Super easy and super tasty. So for protein, I also grilled shrimp, whole Tilapia wrapped in banana leaf, and sausage. Sides are cherry tomato, brussel sprouts, corn on the cob, fingerling potatoes, broccoli, and steamed rice! For Dessert, my sister bought cupcakes. Our friend Derrick brought really good ice cream of Lychee, Mango, and Guava. I also made Mango shake Filipino style meaning no ice cream. Just Mango, ice, milk, and sugar.
The picture of cherries I served as snack my family can nibble while I finish grilling. So there you have it. A 4th of July grilling tradition with not so traditional food.
