If there's one thing Midwesterners know, it's that the 4th of July lands on the hottest day of the year. That's why we're whipping up red, white, and blue no-bake treats. That means you can whip up an amazing appetizer, snack, or dessert, without having to turn on your oven! Here's what we're making for this year's celebration...
American Flag Parfaits
Start your day off with a red, white, and blue flag breakfast. Layer chia seed pudding with fresh berries for a healthy and colorful breakfast that just so happens to fit the theme of the day!
Patriotic Charcuterie Board
Arrange patriotic colors of fruits, vegetables, cheese, and charcuterie on a wooden board. Add jarred peppers, olives, and assorted crackers. Cut slices of white cheese into stars using a cookie cutter and add to top for garnish.
