Patriotic Foodie Fun

I love dressing up food for patriotic holidays. 

This is a simple idea I did a couple of years ago.

I baked a cake mix in a 9" X 13" pan, placed it on a cutting board and after frosting, I used small jelly belly jelly beans to make a flag.  A long pretzel rod makes for a good flagpole.  I used gel in a tube to make the USA.

Give it a try...or even a salute!  *-*

 I love to get 'decked out' for these special holidays too, and when I've gone into church with my r,w & b scarf, earrings and purse, one of the dear older ladies salutes me. How fun! This is a t-shirt scarf I made as I was getting ready for church the Sunday before Memorial Day this year. 

For more foodie fun, I've also baked a brownie mix in a cookie sheet or a pizza pan - it takes about 13 - 15 minutes to bake.  I topped it with a cream cheese/whipped topping mixture, then decorated with berries.  You can either make the star outline with blueberries or strawberries.  I added some glaze to the berries for one of these fun presentations.

ENJOY A FABULOUS WEEKEND OF FUN, FOOD, FELLOWSHIP AND FREEDOM!
