| | I love the Fourth of July. I may be a Brit, but I celebrate America's Independence Day along with everybody else. My American-born children sport their Old Navy flag t-shirts with pride. They enjoy eating hot dogs, followed by patriotic cupcakes; then they wait impatiently for dusk to fall and the fireworks to begin. | | A Low Fat Fourth Keep fat in check this July 4th and prepare some lower-fat festive fare from turkey burgers to fish kebabs. | Southwestern Shrimp The great thing about shrimp is that they're quick and easy to cook.

Blueberries make for a gorgeous, intensely purple sorbet. If, like me, you don't have an ice cream maker, the second stint in the blender or food processor improves the texture of the sorbet, to make it smoother. | Broiled Salmon The American Heart Association recommends we eat fish at least twice a week.
