4th of July

From my family to yours, we wish you a very Happy 4th of July! I wanted very much to put out a special episode for this weekend but as the holidays come around, so does the call volume at the firehouse. Alas, I was too busy to show you the perfect holiday grilling recipe so I'm gonna save it for Labor Day. But I have included below some great recipes that will be a sure fire hit for everything from the cul-de-sac party to the firehouse get-together. I have given you both American and Latin cuisines to choose from. Not enough, click on the link above for FHC Episodes to explore my entire library of archived recipes:

American Cuisine

Backyard Burgers

Smoked Brisket

Steak Fries

Latin Cuisine

Salsa

Roasted Corn and Black Bean Salad

Lemon Churros


The holidays also make me give pause and reflect on all I have to be thankful for and your support in this adventure called The Fire House Chef has been overwhelming. I discover new people everyday who share my love for food and respect it's power to bring people together. So to all you who have been there for me since the beginning, thank you! To all the people who have only recently discovered this "culinary tool", welcome! Your love of food and family (and hopefully the Fire Service) has found a home here. And to all my Firefighting Brethren, stay low, stay safe, and above all else, stay hungry!
