Hello Blog World! Happy 4th of July!

It’s that time of year again! This Wednesday, everyone will be gathering with their favorite people, lighting up their BBQ’s, and letting freedom ring. Here are a few ideas to make your 4th of July Party a success! ​

4th of July Fruit Kabobs ​

We love these 4th of July Kabobs! Made up of watermelon and blueberries, they are a refreshing and healthy snack to have at your BBQ.

​They can be a side to your meal, but are also sweet enough to go with dessert! The secret to getting these star-shaped watermelon is a star-shaped cookie cutter.

Patriotic Sangria

Sangria is a must-have for your backyard party! We recommend this recipe by Taste of Home.
You’ll need 1 bottle sparkling white wine, 2 cups white cranberry juice, ⅔ cup coconut rum, ⅓ cup fresh blackberries, ⅓ cup fresh blueberries, ⅓ cup chopped fresh strawberries. In a large pitcher, mix wine, juice, and rum. Add the fruit and let the sangria chill.

Candy Centerpiece

For decorating, we think this festive idea by NoBiggie.net is great! The candy detail makes them a fun addition to the party! It also gives your guests a little something to munch on while they are enjoying one another!
