Party Dip

Dips are probably one of my top 10 dishes. I love cheese dip, salsa, pizza dip, spinach dip, hummus and many more. If I can dip a chip or cracker in it, chances are, I like it. This recipe is one that I hadn’t tried before.

Flag Cake

Flag cake is a must have at every Fourth of July celebration. Cake is one thing I cannot resist. Every party, in my opinion, should have a cake. You can find the sheet cake recipe I used here. However, if you have a favorite cake recipe, use that instead. I also used cream cheese icing. You can find that recipe here. Cream cheese icing is not negotiable.

Potato Salad

Potato salad is a summer staple. I always get it at my favorite BBQrestaurant where it is crisp and cool. The cool temperature, crisp texture and vibrant flavor play off the sweet spicy BBQ I love best. Coincidentally, I usually cook BBQ on the 4th. I searched high and low for a new potato salad recipe to try out this year. I didn’t find anything that matched the potato salad I envisioned.

Baked Brie

I like a buttery Brie spread on crackers with grapes. It is a classic appetizer around my house. However, since this is Dairy Month and I wanted to branch out and do something different with my Brie. I had heard of simply baking the Brie and decided to give it a try.

Turkey Meatloaf

Meatloaf has such a bad reputation. You tell the family you’re making meatloaf for dinner and the reaction is often groans of dismay. Now is the time to put a stop to this impression. This turkey meatloaf is really good.

Crawfish Etouffee

This is the time of year to eat crawfish and there’s nothing more delectable than a crawfish etouffee. Most people opt for a crawfish boil. However, I prefer this etouffee recipe because there isn’t nearly as much of a mess at the end.
