Recipes for the 4th of July
The Fourth of July is almost here! If you’re anything like me, you would rather spend the bulk of your time with friends and family. I love to cook things ahead for this very reason but sometimes I get invited places at the last minute and don’t always have time to prepare a dish from scratch to take. So get ready to celebrate with these 4th of July recipes that don’t keep you in the kitchen for hours.

The Patriotic Cake Truffles are the perfect little sweet treat to enjoy with a 4th of July picnic. They are great to pass around to others at the town fireworks display too.
Thank you! I hope you had a great 4th 🙂
These recipes look great for the 4th of July celebrations.

All fixed, thanks for letting me know!
thank you. I am going to make the trifle. I was going for a more complicated dessert, but simple is GREAT. I really love the part about eating the brown part of the cake to keep up the energy. Funny. Have a wonderful 4th of July Southern Plate Staff.
Simple is the best 🙂
