{whatever wednesday} Independence Day

Independence Day.  A day for cookouts, friends, family, and the big event: FIREWORKS.  Whether you're heading to a party, hosting a party, or just want to do a little something patriotic to celebrate America the beautiful, here's some food, decor ideas and other 4th of July inspiration to get those creative juices flowing.  Do you have any 4th of July traditions?  Have a Fabulous Fourth!

Start with Flag Foods

Create a flag with blueberrys and sliced bananas and strawberries.

 Or opt for white chocolate colored pretzels instead of the bananas.

Another idea that would be cute is to dye a fruit dip blue and place that in a square container instead of the blueberries :)
