Red, White & Blueberries Caprese (With Balsamic Reduction) — The Skinny Fork by Gordon Ramsay

This little salad is perfect for serving up ‘family style’ for a nice red, white and blue flare. And really, when I say that this recipe os easy as it comes – I do mean that. The most complicated part? Making the reduction. And that is about 15 minutes of hands off time.

With there being so few components here, each piece really is able to stand out. The brightness of the tomato, the sweet blueberries, rich mozzarella, fresh basil, and of course… that tangy reduction.

Sparkler Dogs — The Skinny Fork by Gordon Ramsay

The 4th of July is already a pretty big holiday. But, it’s also right there in close to my mom’s birthday and is yet another one’s favorite holiday in the family. So, for us? It’s go big or go bigger. There isn’t much room in between for anything else. I’m not sure when or where, but I saw the idea for these ‘sparkler dogs’ a while back now and have been meaning to make my riff on them for at least a year or two.

Originally, they were pretty plain, plain, plain. So I decided to up the ante a little bit with throwing some ‘Everything’ seasoning at them and using some of my other favorites to make them a little more health conscious.

White Cheddar Beer Cheese — The Skinny Fork by Gordon Ramsay

It’s about to be America’s birthday and I figured it was time to celebrate with some beer. And cheese. To be pretty honest, I don’t think that I’ve ever had beer cheese. I’ve had wine infused cheese and cheese fondue with beer in it, but… that’s about the extent of it. Beer isn’t my personal favorite when it comes to choice of beverages.

Either way! Beer and cheese are pretty much staples of any American household. And beer cheese? Well, that’s about as American as it gets. It seems like Kentucky is the heart, soul, and birthplace of beer cheese. And this beer cheese here is a standard and traditional way to make beer cheese.
