What about you? What’s your favorite Red, White, & Blue recipe?
My mouth is watering just looking at these recipes! I’m definitely gonna try making the Blackberry & Black Cherry Crumb Bars this weekend :)
The Tres Leche Cake looks amazing
Oh, I love this collection of recipes because most of them involve real red, white, and blue food, not neon food coloring. I’m bookmarking this page for future reference. Thanks!
I am going to look through these recipes and see what I can make for the 4th of July. I need some inspiration and some of these recipes look amazing. I love the 4th of July! It is so much fun at my house.
What a wonderful list of some great recipes that are so perfect for a 4th of July celebration. The Watermelon Granita looks so good. Thanks for sharing.
The salted caramel macaroons look so good! I wish I had more talent making macaroons!
All of these look delicious!
Lucky I stumbled upon this post: Memorial Day came just much too early for me this year (calendar-wise and because my Honey/Hubby just had total hip replacement surgery two weeks ago – so I’m trying to do all the things he’s not allowed to do (medical “protocals”) for six weeks!)
Anyway, Hubby’s cousin has an annual Memorial Day BBQ-Picnic for friends and neighbors and this year we are tasked with making dessert and/or something(s) SWEET. The BBQ is on Monday ~ and honestly I just haven’t had time to figure out what to make/bring! I was actually thinking of cheating and just bring something store-bought (prepared) ~ but I AM known for being a good cook (used to have my own catering business) and I’ve never brought store-bought before so…
I’m trying to decide between making the Tres Leche Cake, Strawberry/Rhubarb Double Crisp or Blackberry & Black Cherry Crumb Bars. If I have time, I’ll probably make two of them (usually 25-35 people at the gathering (I’m not the only one bringing a sweet/dessert!) I’ll let you know how it goes! Thanks Tesa.
Your recipes looks so good. I think I’ll try some for our annual 4th of July party!
The Bing Cherry Sorbetto looks divine.
I love fun holiday recipes…makes parties so much better!
Love all these ideas. I’m going to try the Watermelon Granita.
WOW!! The Bing Cherry Malt looks delicious. Anxious to make.
Wow, what exciting recipes. I love to hunt down recipes online, and I must say I am addicted to cookbooks. Oh, these are fantastic recipes, love them all. :)
All these recipes look so good! Can’t wait to try some at our next get-together!
oh the perils of being on a diet…this post just made me sooo hungry!!
The Salted Caramel Macaroons would be good with some coffee or some hot tea. I love macaroons, they are my weakness when I have a sweet tooth. Great list of recipes!!
