Stumble It!
(Before we get started I need to issue a blanket apology for the quality of my photo's...horrendous things that they are - but use your imagination and look past the blur - these are truly wonderful recipes so don't be fooled by my pics!) Now then...we all have our favorites - and these are a few of mine - our 4th festivities just wouldn't be complete with hot dogs, hamburgers and these sides...
These Baked Beans are the best in the world...I promise - even if the picture is blurry! Bacon, onions, green pepper and pineapple - truly a rib-sticker! And since you just can't have enough beans, we always serve Black Bean and Corn Salad - sometimes as a dip! It's dang good and your pyromaniac friends will love it.
Roman Farro Salad is just what your celebration needs...chewy and fresh with flavor...trust me! And then there's the Sweet Onion Dip and I could write volumes about this - but I'll spare you and just say if you make this you will be happy and so will your guests!
Cheesecake Cupcakes have been THE ONLY dessert I make for our 4th extravaganza for over 20 years...no one wants to eat anything but these and they just fly off the plate! I use canned cherry pie filling for the topping and I also make them with blueberry pie filling...you know, to carry the theme one step further in case our guests didn't get the picture when they walked in...banners and flags flying...Sousa blaring...and me looking like the Statue of Liberty in drag!
I'm looking forward to every bite...and God Bless America!
I am gaining way too much weight since I came across your blog!! Could you please go back to quilting for awhile??? LOL
