Fourth of July tabletop by the pool

Gather around the pool for summertime’s most anticipated occasion, the Fourth of July, complete with a tantalizing all-American spread of grilled fare, fresh sides, and delectable desserts.

Make the most of a sunny day by the pool with loved ones. Light the grill for the star of this July Fourth lineup: hearty steak served with homemade blue cheese dressing.

A trio of fresh sides accompanies the flame-kissed main dish, including skewers of zucchini ribbons and multicolored tomatoes, citrusy broccoli slaw tossed with Parmesan cheese, and creamed corn with a hint of heat.

Deviled eggs gussied up with Bacon Jam, pimientos, and pickled okra will disappear in a flash, while a decadent dessert combination of Apple Pie Ice Cream and oatmeal cookies packed with white chocolate and pecans rounds out the festive feast.
