Everything you need for a festive 4th of July weekend


Hi friends!

The 4th of July is almost here and I have everything you need to make it a celebration to remember! Whether you're hosting a backyard BBQ, heading to a party, or just looking for a fun activity to do with the kids, I've got you covered with recipes, printables, and more.

American Flag Charcuterie Board

If you want something that will really wow your guests, make this American flag charcuterie board! It's made on a rectangular jelly roll pan with rows of meats, cheeses, berries, and crackers to create the stripes of the flag, with a star-shaped brie cutout and blueberries for the blue section. It's patriotic, it's delicious, and it's easier to put together than it looks!

Red, White and Blue Grazing Board

This red, white and blue charcuterie board is one of my favorite things to put together for the 4th! I use blueberry goat cheese, brie with a star-shaped cutout in the center, blue corn tortilla chips, fresh strawberries, and dried cranberries to get that patriotic color pop. It looks really impressive but it's actually super easy to assemble. The key is grouping your colors together so you get that beautiful red, white and blue punch when you set it on the table!

Hi there! It may only be September, but I’m officially declaring it spooky season! And I have the cutest little treat to kick things off. 🧹 If you’ve got ten minutes, a bag of pretzels, and a few peanut butter cups, you can make these Peanut Butter Cup Pretzel Witches’ Brooms. They’re sweet, salty, no-bake, and so fun for Halloween. A dab of melted orange candy holds everything together and gives them that little pop of color. Make a batch for a party, a movie night, or just because you’re...

Hi there! These flower fruit kabobs are one of those recipes I keep coming back to. I've made them for a groovy '70s-themed birthday party, a Mother's Day brunch, and just as a fun spring and summer treat. All you need are cookie cutters, cantaloupe, and a little patience. No baking, no special skills, just vibes and maybe a toddler on your hip (been there). They work as a snack and a centerpiece, so pretty much a win-win. Why you'll love these: They're showstoppers. Flower-shaped fruit on...
