Independence Day Celebration

Here are some great suggestions for your July 4th  barbecue.

.  I’m going to be grilling up Jalapeno Cheddar Burgers from a previous post of mine.  We haven’t found a burger that compares to this yet.  
The Brick Compressed Sandwich is great to throw in a cooler.  It’s doesn’t matter if it get’s and bit smashed, in fact it’s better!  
I plan on having this on hand in my refrigerator for holiday visitors.  I’ll make it a day in advance then I have an instant picnic sandwich or a quick lunch.  
Old Fashioned Strawberry lemonade will really hit the spot on a hot day.
Our barbecue wouldn’t be complete without homemade ice cream.  This chocolate ice cream is The Best!
I hope you have a fabulous and safe Independence Day.  Stay cool and eat well.

    Wow. Those treats look good for any day, even for the loads of people who don't celebrate the 4th of July. Did you know only one country out of many celebrates this day, yet still most of the people who do celebrate it send good wishes to everyone as if we all celebrate it haha. Anyway, thanks for sharing these recipes. For those who celebrate the 4th of July, I wish you a happy one!

This is an old vintage recipe from my childhood and is called “Ermine frosting”. It is so smooth and creamy. It’s definitely not your normal icing. It is less sweet and super fluffy. I think you’ll love it❣️

The recipe is linked in my bio. 😘

This is a very quick version of Christmas Stollen This is a very quick version of Christmas Stollen flavored bread. The sweet dough is filled with dried fruit, candied orange and lemon peel, and almonds. 

The dough is wrapped around a ribbon of marzipan filling. Bake until golden then dust heavily with powder sugar. 

I like to toast a thick slice then scoop out the warm marzipan and spread it all over my toasted Stollen 🤤

Biscotti literally means “twice baked”, and do Biscotti literally means “twice baked”, and double baking is the secret to these crunchy Italian cookies. Their hard texture makes them perfect for dipping into your hot drink. 

Chocolate Hazelnut Biscotti are my favorite and I add them to my Christmas cookie list because they make such a cute gift, but most of all I love dipping them in my cocoa.

The bushes must be filled with perfect purple berries.
