Getting creative with a red, white and blue themed menu is a fun way to celebrate the Fourth of July.
The Fourth of July is a time of year when families and friends get together at a party to celebrate. It is a celebration involving fireworks, drinks and great food. There are many ways to get creative and have fun with Fourth of July party food. Does this Spark an idea?
Barbeque
The Fourth of July is a great time to have an outdoor party if weather permits, and summer is the perfect time to barbeque. Grilling is an easy way to feed many guests. You could easily put hot dogs, chicken, skewered veggies and hamburgers on the grill and please an entire crowd.
Patriotic Fruit Salad
It's the Fourth of July, so have some fun with red, white and blue. An easy way to do this is to make a fruit salad containing colorful berries. A blend of blueberries, strawberries, raspberries and apples will surely look patriotic on the table and taste delicious. Additionally, fruit is a great treat in the summer since it's in season and refreshing.
Summer Berry Trifle
This dessert is heavier than a fruit salad, but also looks great and patriotic on display. Serving this traditional English dessert in a glass pedestal bowl shows off its impressive layers of ladyfingers, pudding and colorful fruits. If you don't have one, a regular glass bowl will also do the trick. First prepare one package instant vanilla pudding and chill it. Collect a total of 4 cups of red and blue berries. In a bowl, whip 1 cup whipping cream, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 2 tablespoons sugar. Layer ladyfingers, berries, pudding and repeat. Top with whipped cream and remaining berries.
American Foods
A simple idea for a menu is to create a menu out of foods that are known as American. For example, make hamburgers on the grill, serve corn on the cob, baked potatoes and serve apple pie as your dessert. For appetizers, you could serve various dips with chips and crackers and buffalo wings.
