July 4th is one of our favorite holidays. Food, family, and fun are how we celebrate. Here are four of our  July 4th finger foods that are always a hit with kids and adults alike. They are easy, don’t take a lot of time, and taste amazing.

Red & Blue Watermelon

What you will need:

Watermelon (large)

Blueberries (1 pkg)

Cookie Cutter (Star-shaped)

Toothpicks

Start by cutting the water in half.  Then slice the halves into about 6 slices so that each slice is round with a ‘ring’ around it.  Use a cookie cutter to cut the inside of the slices into star shapes. (Amount you get will depend on the size cutter used).  Place the stars on a platter. Put a blueberry in the center and place a toothpick through it to hold it into place. Set on the table and serve.

Fruit Kabobs

What you will need:

Blueberries

Mini-Marshmallows

Strawberries/Raspberries (your choice)

Skewers

You can do these in a few different ways. We did a blueberry, a marshmallow, and a strawberry and repeated it 3x on a few of them. We then did 2 blueberries, 2 marshmallows, 2 raspberries, and 2 strawberries on a few. Then we did 3 blueberries, 3 marshmallows, 3 strawberries/3 blueberries, 3 marshmallows, 3 raspberries on a few.

July 4th Colors – Strawberry Cheesecake Bites: Red, White, & Blue Themed

What you will need:

Strawberries (about 10-15)

Blueberries (about 30-40)

4 oz package of Cream Cheese (left soften)

¼ cup of Confectioner’s Sugar

¼ tsp of Almond Extract

Place the strawberries in a bowl and set them to the side. Mix the cream cheese (make sure it has softened), confectioner’s sugar, and almond extract together in a small mixing bowl until they are combined and smooth. Set it in the fridge and let chill for roughly 10-15 minutes.  Take the strawberries and rinse them off really well. Pat them dry with a paper towel and slice them (in half) lengthwise. Place them on a plate or platter with the cut sides up. Spoon the cream cheese mixture on top of the strawberries (you can use a piping bag if you choose) and then place 1-2 blueberries on top and serve.

More July 4th Colors: Red, White, & Blue Deviled Eggs

What you will need:

Eggs

Americolor food coloring

**Please note–I am not doing the recipe for deviled eggs.  This is only for getting the boiled eggs red and blue in color**

Boil your eggs like normal.  After you peel them and cut them in half (lengthwise), scoop the yolk out and put it in a bowl to the side.  Mix hot water (1 cup) with red food coloring ( 1 tsp). Add distilled white vinegar (1 tbsp) and stir together. Place the egg halves into the bowl for 1-2 minutes.  Repeat the process with blue food coloring. Place the egg halves on a platter and fill with egg yolk mixture of your choice; serve.

I look forward to July 4th each year because I get to see family and friends. Serving these finger foods just adds to my excitement.  Eating them, well eating them is just a much-needed bonus!
