To be quite honest with you, there's not much I want to celebrate about America these days. But, the Fourth of July is coming, I get a day off from work, and I'm going to enjoy a nice barbecue with lots of red, white and blue snacks (by barbecue I mean veggie burger, BTW). If you're going to be attending a barbecue, you can't show up empty handed, so I have collected the best of the best food recipes from Pinterest that are super patriotic, and vegetarian because you know what I'm about by now.
Sidenote: If you understood that Vine reference, I'm glad.
1. Coconut water popsicles
Fun fact: coconut water is very hydrating, so these are perfect to stay cool in the heat.
2. Chocolate covered frozen bananas
Disney World sells these in the parks and they are everything on a hot summer day. If you know you know.
3. Red, white and blue toritilla chips with guac and salsa
If you enjoy putting as little effort as possible into things, you'll appreciate the simplicity of throwing chips in a bowl with guacamole and salsa. I want to dive into the pool, then dive into those chips and dip.
5. Rice Krispie Treats
Bringing bak your childhood with arguabley the yummiest snack ever: a rice krispie treat. You could go all out and dip them in chocolate like this blogger did, or pick out red and blue M&M's and mix them into the treats.
6. "Star-Spangled Skewers" aka watermelon, blueberries and mozzerella
You cannot have 4th of July without watermelon, and you can make it 10 times cuter by cutting it into little stars and arranging them on a skewer.
