Bake Patriotic Treats
News flash: food is going to be very important this holiday.

Red, white, and blue colored desserts will be a real hit, and they sure will be the talk of the parties!
Here are some great, easy ideas for patriotic treats:
- Brownies - whip up a fresh batch of brownies and top them with red, white, and blue sprinkles
- Colored cookie cake - try out a basic cookie cake with red, white, and blue icing or even a full American flag design
- Cream and fruits - for the healthier attendees, try out homemade whipped cream with patriotic fruits (raspberries, strawberries, and blueberries)
- Glazed donuts - donuts are sure to be a hit, especially if they are topped with red, white, and blue glaze
There are an endless number of other possibilities for desserts, so choose the one(s) that sound the best, and go from there. The family will surely bond over preparing these delicious desserts together!
Turn On Patriotic Movies
While many guests will be more than enjoying the tasty patriotic baked goods, others may need additional entertainment. One of the best ways to do this is to break out some patriotic movies! There are all different kinds of movies that will honor the holiday and satisfy the guests.
Looking for a drama? Try out Pearl Harbor or Independence Day. Looking for some romance? Try out Top Gun. Looking for one that the kids will love? Try out National Treasure. The possibilities are endless, and it is nearly impossible to go wrong. Importantly, don’t forget to stock the kitchen with must-have popcorn, soda, and candy.
Prep for the Cookouts
