Red, White and Blue No Bake Cheesecake Recipe

June 11, 2014 By Shannah Coe 2 Comments

I love July 4th!  Not only because I love our country but also because of all the fun events, decor and food that incorporates our national colors of red, white and blue.  This red, white and blue no bake cheesecake recipe came about as I was racking my brain trying to decide what to make for Memorial Day {same colors and all}.  I didn’t end up making it for that BBQ but got to playing around with the recipe later the next week with July 4th firmly planted in my head as inspiration. 

The BEST EVER no bake cheesecake recipe and it is even colored for July 4th. Yum!

Food for July 4th: Red, White and Blue Firecrackers

June 10, 2013 By Shannah 66 Comments

Food for July 4th parties can be so fun to make! Get the kids involved and make these Red, White and Blue Firecrackers using only marshmallows and candy! These Red, White and Blue chocolate dipped marshmallow pops are so festive and fun to make, everyone will have a blast!

I love entertaining!  Holidays for me mean a time to get family and friends together and share a meal.  Of course, for most holidays, I like to coordinate the food with the occasion.  When thinking about food for July 4th, I wanted something fun that the kids could also help with.
