What Are Great Food Ideas For the 4th of July

With summer's impending arrival, this naturally means it will soon be the 4th of July. Have you planned the festivities for this year yet? If you're looking for ideas for the 4th of July, then look no further. Read on to discover some great 4th of July party food ideas to serve before heading out to a vibrant fireworks display.

Begin any 4th of July BBQ with some great dips. Every once in a while you find a delicious and easy 4th of July appetizer recipe to add in with our old favorites for this time of year, but for the most part, people tend to stick with traditional recipes they grew up with, such as ranch and cheese dip. Something new to try is bruschetta because it is an easy dip to prepare and it is refreshing on a warm July day. Quick Mexican recipes are great too and dips made with black beans and salsa are among party favorites. The dip bowls will get cleaned out rather quickly, since everyone seems to come to a BBQ hungry.

For your Independence Day party, of course you also want the barbecued food to be superb, yet when it comes to hamburgers, most people just shape some ground meat into patties and throw them on the grill. Why be boring when you can research hamburger recipes online and make something that is truly crowd pleasing? The choice of meat is very important, since it stands alone for taste. Some great additions to your burgers are onions and/or a packet of onion soup mix, a little BBQ sauce, Worcestershire sauce, A-1 steak sauce, or just garlic powder, salt and pepper.

When it comes to great ideas for the 4th of July, dessert is a big deal. Cupcakes can make a big bang at your gathering. They're fun and easy to make and you can prepare several dozen ahead of time. Of course patriotic party ideas dictate that you decorate them with red, white and blue frosting. Or, instead of just frosting, you can use a white base frosting and add blueberries and strawberries to design sweet little flag cupcakes. There are some great pre-made sugar decorations shaped like flags and stars that you can purchase at cake decorating stores. Use them along with flag picks and you will have fabulous patriotic cupcakes.

When all the dip bowls are empty and the hamburgers have been eaten and the ice cream has melted, it's time to head out to your local fireworks display. Throw down a blanket and get comfortable. When it's finally dark enough, you will eventually hear the first roar of a rocket. Hopefully, these ideas for the 4th of July will help to make your holiday party special.

Attention pizza lovers! Create your own "personal pizza" with this sturdy wooden pizza set.

With the Melissa & Doug Pizza Party, your child can make believe she's running a pizza parlor, doing everything from baking and slicing a pizza to serving it to her guests. This high-quality wood toy is designed for kids three and up and includes a "sliceable" pizza, a pizza tray, 54 pizza "toppings," a pizza cutter, and a server, all packaged in a sturdy wood container. Pizza Party Ages: 3+ What We Think Fun factor: Durability: Educational factor: Novelty factor: The Good: Sturdy wood toy will stand up to years of play The Challenging: Cute, painted, wood storage container is built to last, but would be improved with the addition of a cover In a Nutshell: Toy pizza with topping and utensils offers kids fun, creative props for imaginary play Kids love serving up their delicious pizza creations with the wooden pizza cutter and server. View larger. With 54 pizza toppings, children can customize pies for their friends and family. View larger. Make, Bake, and Serve Pizza The wooden pizza consists of six "slices" that are held together by Velcro. Each piece has three Velcro disks for attaching the pizza toppings. Your child can assemble the pizza right on the cheerful green pizza tray. Using pepperoni, mushroom, or peppers, or a combination of the three toppings, she can make a pizza that almost looks good enough to eat. Once the pizza is "ready," the child can use the pizza cutter to cut the pizza. It actually has a rolling blade, just like an authentic utensil, and since the pizza slices are held together with Velcro, it makes a fun crunching sound when it's cut. Your little pizza chef can then dish out pizza to her customers with the included server. (Note that the toy kitchen utensils are not meant for use with real food or with real kitchen appliances.) Play and Learn Pretend play is a very important part of childhood development, and the Pizza Party toy gives children fun, straightforward tools to inspire their imaginations. We also love that this toy is perfect for both independent and interactive playtime, giving parents the opportunity to help kids learn while playing, too. For example, children can learn counting concepts while preparing pizza: ask them to count the number of mushrooms on the pizza, or to put 10 peppers on her pizza. Sturdy Wood Construction The Pizza Party comes with 54 disk-shaped pizza toppings -- three of each kind -- which is enough to create an all-pepperoni, all-peppers, or all-mushroom pizza, as well as make up whatever combination your child chooses. We like that there are an abundance of toppings pieces, so that the inevitable loss of a couple of pieces won't ruin the whole toy. That said, we do wish that the cute, painted wood storage container came with a cover to help keep the pieces in place a bit better. With its sturdy wood construction and high-quality materials, this toy is made to last. And as with all of their products, Melissa & Doug states that this toy is made with non-toxic coatings and meets or exceeds US toy testing standards. About Melissa & Doug Started in the garage at Doug's parents' house in 1988, Melissa & Doug has grown to become one of the most popular toy makers in the world. Their toys have garnered dozens of parenting and "best toy" awards over the years, and have been featured widely in national print media and on television. One of the company's points of pride is that their toys are thoroughly tested for safety, and meet all US consumer product safety regulations. The toys are tested at the factory of origin during various phases of the production process to ensure that every toy meets the company's stringent safety requirements every step along the way. In particular, the paints and coatings on Melissa & Doug toys are tested frequently to be sure they meet or exceed government recommendations limiting heavy metals and lead in children's items. Since day one, Melissa & Doug has been in compliance with every US consumer product safety regulation and will continue to stay compliant as the laws continue to evolve, assuring parents that their children can have a safe childhood while playing with Melissa & Doug toys.
