What better way to celebrate America’s independence than with a red, white, and blue spread! These Red, White and Blue Foods on Frugal Coupon Living are perfect for chowing down on under the fireworks this July 4th. From red, white and blue desserts, to colorful 4th of July drinks, and everything in between, save these recipes for your July 4th festivities this year!

 Red, White & Blue Foods

I am a big fan of Patriotism. When I see documentaries on the founding of our country and the freedom our founders pursued, it seriously brings tears to my eyes. There’s just really nothing more inspiring than what they were fighting for. I know that myself and many others take these freedoms for granted these days, and the fourth of July holiday helps us gain perspective of our blessings every year. July 4th (and other American Holidays) remind me of the sacrifices that the founding fathers made for us, and really makes me want to celebrate!

For Memorial Day, July 4th and other red, white and blue occasions, I think it’s only right to celebrate with festive foods in those special colors! From red, white and blue desserts, to fresh fruit salads, to other tasty recipes for the 4th of July, I challenge you to make your entire Independence Day table red, white and blue!

What are the best red, white and blue foods for the 4th of July?

I think you will notice a theme among many of these 4th of July recipes — lots of them use red, white and blue fruits and vegetables, while a few of them rely on food coloring to fit in with the festive color palette. If you’re going the healthy route, opt for the 4th of July recipes with those fresh ingredients. On the other hand, if you’re searching for red, white and blue desserts, you will want to stock up on red and blue food coloring and other baking supplies.

Whether you want to keep things relatively simple with a fruit salad or go all out with a summer berry tart, consider this your one stop shop for all of your red, white and blue recipe inspiration. Delicious, festive, and easy to make, everyone will go wild for these recipes!

What is Elf on the Shelf?

Elf on the Shelf is a Christmas Tradition. The tradition has a book and a elf doll. The book is poetic and in rhyme sharing the purpose of the Elf’s visits. The Elf visits each Thanksgiving. He/She goes and returns from the North Pole each evening. Every morning he can be found in a new location in the house. The Elf has been found in the refrigerator, fishing in the toilet, writing messages on the mirror or hanging from the lights. It is VERY IMPORTANT, the Elf is not touch each evening or his Christmas magic will be lost! Each family is able to name their special elf. The elves return to their home (Santa’s North Pole Work shop) every Christmas Eve. An Elf’s Story can also be found on DVD

Online you can find ENDLESS Elf on the Shelf Accessories, Books, Games and Toys.
