Red, White & Blue Foods for July 4th

Here’s something you probably don’t know about me.

I love everything patriotic.

Yep, it’s true!  I have some patriotic decor in my house.  I have a few different Old Navy flag t-shirts that I’ve literally worn out, too.  One of my kids has worn the same red, white and blue overalls every year for years on the 4th of July, just because I love the colors and the tradition.  We love gathering together with our family and letting the kids shoot off fireworks and enjoying the fun holiday where we can celebrate our independence as a nation.

This year, since we hadn’t seen our friends in our homeschool group for a while, I decided to host a Red, White and Blue party at the park.  We  brought red, white and blue snacks to share and had a great time eating and playing together with our friends!

The snacks that were brought, were all pretty easy to make and would make an excellent addition to your 4th of July, Independence Day Festivities.

Some of the things that we brought were:

  • Patriotic Popsicles
  • Red, White & Blue Jello
  • Ice Cream Sandwiches, dipped in Red, White & Blue Sprinkles
  • Sugar Cookies with Red, White & Blue Swirls

It was all so adorable and so fun!

On the table we had some Red and Blue M&M’s

Patriotic Ice Cream Sandwiches

These were pretty easy.  All she did was cut the sandwich in half.  Stick a stick into it and sprinkle red and blue sprinkles on the white edges of ice cream.  They turned out really cute!

Red, White & Blue Swirl Sugar Cookies

These were super cute!  I did not get her instructions on how to make these, but it looks like she made them like this.  They were very soft and chewy…and oh so festive!

Patriotic Jello Cups

The same person also brought these Jello cups (Hi April!!).  You can’t see through the cup that well, but it’s Red jello squares topped with whipped cream topped with blue Jello squares.  They were definitely a hit, too and would be adorable in a clear cup or glass!

Homemade Patriotic Popsicles

I made these, so I got a whole lot more pictures of the process.  So bear with me a bit.  🙂   Most of my popsicles turned out, red, pink and blue because I didn’t let the red freeze as long as I should have before adding the white.  So the white got a little bit colored.  Ooos.  We had some perfect ones, but I had my camera on the wrong setting when I took that picture.  So…you’ll just have to imagine the perfect white!  🙂

What you’ll need:

  • Red Hawaiian Punch
  • Blue Hawaiian Punch
  • Tropical Colada V-8 Splash Smoothie for the white.  (I hear that you can also use lemonade for the white.)
  •  Small 2-3 oz bathroom cups for the cups
  • popsicle sticks

Directions:  

Fill your cups 1/3 full with red Hawaiian Punch.

Fill another 1/3 with the Tropical Colada Smoothie Mix (or whatever you wish to use to be your white color).  Let freeze for 2 hours.

Top off your cups with Blue Hawaiian Punch.

  • Amorette DavisUser of the Free Freezer to Slow Cooker One Week Menu

    Thank you so much! As a special needs mommy these recipes have helped us so much.   I often am very busy with being a nurse for our child that I don't have time for making sure we get meals.  This allows me to do all my prep on the weekends, while my husband is home to help, and to cook during the week.  So grateful!

  • Linda SearsOwner of Freezer to Slow Cooker Menus

    Sarah’s Freezer to Slow Cooker ebooks have been a fantastic addition to my meal plans.  They make meal planning easy and my family happy. I love the way each recipe is laid out, with a shopping list and ingredient prep list, along with cooking instructions. Sarah’s done all the hard work for me!  The recipes have used have all been delicious and easily adaptable to my family’s taste and the number of people I’m serving.

  • FranOwner of Freezer to Slow Cooker Ebooks
     I purchased all of your freezer to slow cooker ebooks a month or so ago and I'm in love with this way of cooking.  I now have taken all 10 weeks of recipes and written them of my menu planner and then I repeated the 10 weeks and will continue to do so throughout the year.  My family of 5 adults and 1 child enjoy the meals that you have planned and I have cooked and I'm excited that the next time when that meal comes due up in the rotation I won't have to purchase anything but just pull it from the freezer.  Thank you so much

    This makes my life so much easier. I'm a busy work at home/stay at home mom, wife, business woman and I feel like dinner is always the thing I just never get time to do. We have done like 15 of the crockpot recipes from Sarah and they are all very yummy. They get a thumbs up from my husband and kids every time. And there is always enough for my husband to take the left overs at least 2x per recipe. I have a family of 5, 2 adults, 21, 13, 16. So it makes plenty. Thank you Sarah.

  • Dawn S.Buyer of Freezer to Slow Cooker Ebook Series
    I am a 59-year-old wife and mother of two grown children.  I love your idea of fixing a lot of meals ahead of time and then pulling one out, put it in the crockpot, and you have dinner when you get home.  I hate feeling rushed when I cook so Monday - Friday I use those crockpot meals and make enough that we have lunch the next day.  I take Sunday afternoon, fix up what I need for the week (I don't have a lot of freezer space so I do a week's worth at a time) and I'm done with it!  Saturdays I like to try new recipes from some of my cookbooks which I am finding I can freeze as well!  So you have shown me a whole new way to organize my time and still put a healthy meal on the table.  Thanks so much and I look forward to future blogs.
