Patriotic Party Foods
If you have to feed a crowd and don’t want to spend all day in the kitchen, I recommend these Hawaiian Roll Ham Sliders (Just a Pinch Recipes) which are an easy crowd pleaser. It’s my go-to dish! As for festive desserts, we’ll be serving up No-Bake Berry Cheesecake (Delish), Apple Summer Fruit Hand Pies (McCormick) and popsicles. We make a LOT of popsicles in the summer using a refillable mold and any kind of juice. The kids love them and they’re virtually effortless.

Fun Patriotic Drinks
Looking for fun and easy summer drinks for the whole family? Try serving a strawberry soda with red white and blue ice cubes. To make red white and blue ice, just freeze blueberries, strawberries and apple pieces in water in an ice tray. Its fun, easy and refreshing.

Summer Lawn Games for Entertaining
This fourth of July we’ll be pulling out the giant dominos, cornhole and entertaining the kids with water balloons. We used to fill up balloons one at a time until we discovered these water balloons on that fill 100 in 60 seconds and self seal. It’s amazing.
