Festive Food for the 4th

1 Jul

Are you planning your menu for the 4th of July??

If you are, then boys howdy do I have some incredibly magical ideas for you!!

First things first, check out my post about The 4th of Jell-O pronto.

Now that the creative cook in you is warmed up, keep reading…

My motto is – The little things are the big things.

Seriously.  Your Happy Buddies will probably forget about the firework display at the end of the day, but they will forever remember your Grand Old Flag Cheese Spread (see below).

So, my Happy Home Friends, here are some little ideas to make a BIG impact on your 4th of July picnic table!

And I saved the best for last.  Is this not the most ridiculous thing you have ever seen?!?!  Glorious Treats certainly delivered one gloriously fabulous flag cake of amazingness.Now all you need to do is head on over to Disney and print out these brilliant patriotic Mickey and Friends food flags and stick them in all of your Festive Food for the 4th.

Oh, and make sure that while you are preparing all of this Festive Food for the 4th your toes look like this.
