red, white and blue made easy

I'll be making Red, White, and  Blue Bruschetta

this weekend for our get-together with a few friends.

Doesn't this look yummy?

Ingredients 

§ 1/2 cup diced strawberries

§ 1/2 cup blueberries

§ 1/2 cup raspberries

§ 1/2 cup blackberries

§ 3 Tablespoons balsamic vinegar

§ 1 teaspoon honey

§ 4 cloves garlic, minced

§ 1/4 cup fresh basil chiffonade (leaves rolled up and cut into ribbons)

§ Toasted baguette and ricotta for serving

Instructions

1. Combine all the berries in a medium-sized bowl.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together vinegar, honey, and garlic and then drizzle over berries.
3. Stir in basil, cover with plastic wrap and place in refrigerator for at least one hour to allow flavors to develop.
4. Serve on toasted baguette spread with fresh ricotta.

Here's a game for people of all ages.

Simply decorate a few empty cans with decorative
red, white and blue tape or paint.

Pretty painted clay pots 
with red, white and blue flowers 
for the front porch.

Love these starfish American flags from MerMade Designs.

Use blue jean pockets from 

outgrown denim to make 

these cute utensil and napkin holders.

They're easy to cut out and fill!
