Freedom, fireworks, family and food … that’s what Fourth of July is to me! I love how cookouts are filled with the traditional American fare – burgers<\/a><\/strong>, hot dogs<\/a><\/strong>, baked beans<\/a><\/strong>, potato salad<\/a><\/strong>, etc. <\/p>\n

This year, my husband and I have been invited to a a party. I’ve been asked to bring a dessert<\/a><\/strong>. To honor the colors of the day, and do something fun, I’m going to go with a red, white and blue theme.<\/p>\n

Since I live a hectic life, I like to have a few go-to recipes stashed in my binder. Debbie Bankston’s<\/a><\/strong> One Layer White Cake<\/a><\/strong> recipe has become one of them. “This is a simple one layer cake made with ingredients we usually have on hand,” says Debbie. “[It’s] perfect as a shortcake with any fruit, ice cream and whipped topping.” <\/p>\n

Honorary Kitchen Crew member Bonnie D.<\/a><\/strong> plans on making some fruit shortcakes now that peaches and berries are back in season. Bonnie suggests making a delicious trifle from this cake (which I think sounds great too). You can turn this one cake into many different desserts, which makes this a keeper in my book!<\/p>\n

Starting with a store bought cake and doctoring it up is a great way to put together a quick and easy dessert (and a trick I use in a pinch).<\/p>\n

Polly Anna’s<\/a><\/strong> All American Dessert<\/a><\/strong> is a little lighter in calories which I love – and it looks so patriotic. “You can have a beautiful dessert that is low in fat and calories,” explains Polly Anna. Angel Food cake is such a wonderfully light dessert. <\/p>\n

Although there was enough whipped topping to make the recipe taste good, I am going to add a little more next time for presentation purposes. I think this will be a big hit and you’ll be coming back from your cookout with an empty bowl!<\/p>\n

Christi Capps’<\/a><\/strong> American Angelfood Parfait<\/a><\/strong> is fresh and fruity! “This is the perfect dessert for [your] Fourth of July picnic,” says Christi. “And no cooking involved!” This creamy dish is as light as a feather and tastes like a dream. Great to serve for Fourth of July or anytime you’re in the mood for a festive dessert.<\/p>\n

What’s more American than cherry pie? And we’ve got a great recipe for you – Deborah Jean Schmidt’s<\/a><\/strong> Deep Dish Cherry Pie<\/a><\/strong>. Yummy crust and a detectable filling equals an all-star cherry pie! <\/p>\n

“The pie really loves a scoop of vanilla ice cream when it’s hot of the oven,” suggests Deborah Jean. This turns out so pretty it’s almost a crime to eat this … almost.<\/p>\n

“Very easy and very delicious,” is how Leslie Bowles<\/a><\/strong> describes her Quick Blackberry Cobbler<\/a><\/strong>. Honorary Crew member Ellen Bales<\/a><\/strong> whipped up this luscious treat and delighted by its outcome. <\/p>\n

“The aroma that permeated my kitchen was so appetizing as this was cooking,” said Ellen. Grab some whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream and it sounds like you’ve got a dessert your guests will love. Now that berries are back in season, this may be perfect for the cookout.<\/p>\n

I’m not sure which of these yummy recipes I’m going to make, but I know whatever I choose will be perfect (and tasty!). I’m curious, what do you think I should bring? I hope everyone has a happy and safe Fourth of July!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
