Add some fun to your Fourth of July party food! If you are tired of the traditional
hamburgers and hot dogs, go ahead and try something different.
Here are some new menu ideas to make this holiday unique, fun and entertaining for everyone.

 

Dress up dessert. How about making an American flag-shaped cake?
Use white frosting, raspberries for the red stripes, and blueberries for the stars!  

Why not cook some shrimp, crab or even lobster? You can add grilled chicken,
fish and steaks to the menu, or maybe even a vegetable kabob!

Don’t forget the drinks. You can make them special by adding flavored ice cubes; in red, of course!
Just add water and strawberry flavoring to ice cube trays and freeze.

The Fourth of July is all about fun in the sun, so keep it light, fresh and simple!
