You have the hamburgers, the hot dogs and all the fixings to pile on them. But have you given a thought to the side dish recipes? With summer grilling fun, who wants to spend all day cooking when they could be out enjoying the festivities? Summer cooking calls for quick and easy sides for the grilled fare that make everyone light up. Released earlier this month, the I Love Trader Joe’s College Cookbook features several recipes that are sure to make this Independence Day the best yet. With great food like Bacon Cheeseburgers and Chilean Style Hot Dogs, the cookbook has everything you need to really get your celebration going. Each recipe in the cookbook is designed to be simple and quick, and they all feature Trader Joe’s low-cost, high-quality ingredients. The Antipasto Salad is quick to whip up and tasty, to boot.
