4th of July Recipes

The 4th is right around the corner and we’re planning a little get together with my family, and allllll the kids. More than likely the day will be spent IN the swimming pool or playing cornhole (I’m the queen of cornhole, just so ya know!). My husband will be manning the grill and I’ll be the one stuck inside preparing drinks and dessert. I won’t mind that part though, esp. if it’s super duper hot out. Humidity and I are not friends.

Fun party decorations and good food is a huge part of our 4th of July parties, but we tend to need ideas for dessert. I’ve made the same desserts over and over and over again, for YEARS. I decided to peek around the awesome www and found some fantastic ideas! I’m really crushing on all of these and not sure just yet which ones I’ll make. Notice I said, “Ones”. That means I’ll be doing more than one. Tehehheee.
