For the 4th: Food Porn for your patio party

When I ran across this gorgeous picture via Tastespotting, I knew there was no way I could host a backyard patio party this summer without trying this recipe that the petite pig has created - Roasted Fig with Vanilla Sea Salt and Proscuitto Bruschetta. Really, tell me your mouth isn't watering already. Though figs aren't necessarily my favorite thing in the world, I'd brave it since I'm a sucker for anything topped with Proscuitto.

This recipe also incorporates the delectable flavors of mascarpone cheese, radicchio, and balsamic vinegar - definitely something a little different to serve alongside your red, white, and blue cocktails on the 4th.

Garden Party: Impress with caviar

Caviar is synonymous with class and elegance, even though it is such a small thing. While it sounds exotic, I have recently noticed that it is becoming more and more common. I'm not referring to banned beluga or other imported caviars, but to domestic ones. I recently saw caviar offered for sale in the refrigerator case at my local Trader Joe's and the caviar in the photo above is a domestic from the Seattle Caviar Company, which deals with both imported options and with domestics. Luxist offers us a wealth of caviar options at a variety of prices, including a vegetarian option. To impress with caviar without breaking the bank, try looking at the domestics. A high quality domestic will be less expensive and just a delicious as an imported caviar.

Perhaps not surprisingly, caviar tastes fishy, so it's best to serve it to guests who like fish. One of the great benefits of serving it is that there is no cooking required - except for the use of a toaster. I like to make toast soldiers, which are strips of toasted whole wheat bread, and dab the end with sour cream, creme fraiche or mascarpone cheese. Top the cheese with a bit of caviar, or let the guests do it themselves. Be sure to leave one end of the toast uncovered, so they're easy to handle.
