What So Proudly We Hail the Brownie (and Fruit) Kebabs
Take dessert to the next level with these easy-to-make kebabs from Mel’s Kitchen (originally inspired by Andrea Dekker). These fun, flavorful treats are not only mess-free, but are also great portable desserts so you can host a big family party and enjoy a mouthful of brownie at the same time, yum!
Land of the Free Lemonade
Nothing says festive like this colorful beverage from Southern Living. A refreshing combination of pureed watermelon & lemonade, garnished with some watermelon stars and with the addition of some blueberries to keep your guests hydrated this Fourth of July.
Red, White, & Blue Spinach Salad
If you’re looking for a crisp side dish to complement your main course, look no further than this recipe from The Happy House Wife. On a hot day, this little mix is sure to keep you cool with the sweet and refreshing berry and vinaigrette medley. Quick and healthy, this spinach salad is always a hit even with those who don’t think they like salad.
United States Lasagna Flag
Leave the cover on the grill this year and fire up the oven. This unique take from Claire Gallam of Sheknows.com (adapted originally from FamilyFun) on the classic lasagna is sure to make your family’s taste buds happy.
