We go every 4th to my sisters and we all pick one thing to bring for dinner, snacking, etc. I am stumped this year on what to bring. I am looking for something super simple but amazingly delicious at the same time. Any ideas?? Thanks! Aubmari

Rocky Road Pudding is AMAZING at picinics. Chocolate pudding with chocolate chips, mini marshmellows, M&M's, or what ever you have laying around the house in it. Goes fast though so if you've got a big family you might want to make 2 packs instead of one. Keep it cool and it makes the perfect summer time treat that's easy to make. Enjoy!

Spread softened cream cheese in the bottom of a 9 x 13 inch glass baking dish. Mix butter, chicken and hot wing sauce together and spread on top of cream cheese. Sprinkle mozzarella or cheddar cheese on top. Bake at 350○ for 8 to 10 minutes or till cheese is melted. Serve hot with cracker, tortilla or pita chips.

Usually we do not make through the night without some type of ~~fire~~ mishap. I am crossing my fingers this year my brother in law has prepared by taking a safety class. Lips Sealed

Brew,

Not a big fan of the Jello. Must be the texture. Tongue

I am pretty sure I would mess up the layering and end up with either tie dye or purple Grin

I actually thought about making the same thing but ....... to redeem myself from communism I will do the flag pattern. Grin

Have you tried it before. I wasn't really sure on what it would taste like?

On the 4th, I usually bring a Fifth of whiskey. Course this year I'll be up North for 5 days so I went and bought a 1.75 liter of 7 Crown. So I guess I'll be celebrating the 4th with a 7.

Either that or bring the toothpicks Cheesy

Or if its a potluck, just bring some "Pot" and all of the food will get eaten, I guarantee it!!!!!!!!!!!!! Have fun! Wink

It's very good, a lot like strawberry shortcake.

My family fave is a variation on the 4th of July cake...

Strawberry Poke Cake

French Vanilla cake mix............follow instructions.
While baking, mash up 2 pints of fresh strawberries with 1 stick of butter and 1 cup of confectioners' sugar..mash it all up really good!
When cake is done remove from oven, pour mashed strawberries over top. Poke holes with a fork in cake. Let it cool.....get out of the way!!

You can bake your cake from scratch if you wish.I see no reason on this one.
This cake travels well, it doesn't need refrigeration, you can decorate the top with more strawberries, serve it with ice cream or whipped cream if desired, but it stands alone as well.

Happy Fourth Everyone!

I am still undecided..... My brother in law is going with a fish fry (walleye). YUM! So I may changed to find something Fish-ish!! Wink

Definately cake but not sure which one now. The buffalo chicken dip is a must try as well.

Oh and I almost forgot... BV and Diet coke..... I will have to pitch a tent in my sisters yard for sure. Smiley

Hope you all have a safe and happy 4th!
