• Get the kids involved. Let them help assemble the fruit skewers or decorate cookies.

• Don’t forget the decor! Even basic dishes look extra festive with red, white, and blue plates, napkins, and tablecloths.

However you celebrate, a red, white, and blue menu is sure to make your party pop. So fire up the oven, break out the sparklers, and get ready for a deliciously patriotic celebration!
