JULY 4th FEAST!!!!

Any opportunity to make new foods and celebrate is a o k in my book!    I found some great festive food ideas for both snacks, desserts and drinks that I wanted to share.   Whether you're relaxing at home with family, hosting a big party or maybe attending a party, these ideas are super fun for both young and old.

Let's start with some refreshing drinks for both kids and adults...

Ultra festive and fun...this drink they call "Independence Punch" is cranberry juice, blue Gatorade, and Diet 7Up....click on the link below to find out how to make your own!

Or how about just a drink of your choice with the addition of some festive berries in a Red Solo cup?   Red Solo cup, I fill you up....I couldn't resist.  Looks easy enough.

Who doesn't love Sangria....check this one out.

Or maybe add a little pop to your drink by lining the edge with Pop Rocks?   A nice surprise...or not.

On a hot day, what could be better than some festive fruit to cool off?   These are a few of my favorite ideas.

Add a few bananas for the perfect flag.

Of course we all know dessert is the most important part of the meal, right?  Or am I the only one who starts the meal by asking what's for dessert so I can plan accordingly???

Here are some fantastic and festive ideas.

While this may look hard, trifles can be unbelievably easy.  This looks like strawberries, Angel Food cake and blueberries with whipped cream.  Yum...and pretty too!

Or you can skip the cake and just go for the fresh berries.  Festive and easy!!
