Menu for the week of July 14-18, 2025

This Monday is July 14th, Bastille Day, France’s National Holiday! While it’s not typically celebrated with a big family meal like Christmas or Easter, it’s often a beautiful summer day perfect for a barbecue or picnic with loved ones. And in most towns across France, the evening ends with a dazzling fireworks show! I’ve always loved this day ever since I was a kid.

Here are a few recipes to inspire you in this third week of July!
