Celebrate your Independence Day with a Delish Dish!

The 4th of July is here! Soon folks will be watching fireworks from their rooftops, a starry hill, the county fair or even at home on the t.v. If your looking for some sparkling recipes to bring along the way, Rosella’s has plucked out a few ripe ones just for you!

Let’s start off with some homemade hotdog buns, yum!

Get ready for a fabulous hot dog experience from KQED Food, where light and fluffy meets crunchy and chewy! This little oven-baked morsel will definitely have you and your guests back for seconds….or thirds.

 Try this tangy red, white, and blue sangria to wash things down!

A brilliant concoction from Recipe Girl, this festive drink mixes a bit of triple sec, berry flavored vodka and a dry white wine (of which our White Wine Blend would do nicely.) As a non-alcoholic beverage for the kids, just add a little lemon-lime soda and your choice of cranberry-grape juice, orange juice or apple juice.  
 

 Feeling like something a little Seaside?

This Blackened Shrimp Pesto Pasta Salad by KarylsKulinaryKrusade is a vibrant side dish for party goers looking for something a little less traditional to jazz things up. With down to earth pine nuts, spicy pepper flakes, and creamy avocado…this is a dish to remember!

And of course, every great holiday has a legendary dessert!

Don’t let this simple ingredient Flag Cake by spendwithpennies fool you! Sugared cream cheese, berries, and whipped cream toppings will go down in history…and has!

I don’t know about you, but all this food has me thinking about crafting a memorable dinner piece for all my friends and family to see. Check out these really cool Patriotic Mason Jar Lanterns by addicted2diy!

Wishing you a happy 4th of July!
