Red, White and Blue Cheese - A Patriotic USA Tray

From sea to shining sea, 4th of July plans are well underway.
What better way to celebrate the nation's birthday 
than a patriotically colorful, bounty of homegrown American treasures?
Red, white and blue never tasted so good!

We've got the West Coast covered in crimson -
local cherries, raspberries and strawberries...

along with robust Red Hawk cheese


Middle America is typically pure and wholesome...

along with the sensational Semifreddi's handcrafted sourdough baguette are the salt of the earth

Oh boy have we got the blues.
Black and Blueberries line the East Coast, 
with a cheesy visitor from Point Reyes, California...


Happy 4th of July.
Keep it cheesy,
keep it colorful
and keep it all American!

Thank you to Sigona's Farmers Market for providing the amazing fresh fruit, artisanal cheeses from around the country and locally baked bread. They are the ultimate one stop shop!

America the Beautiful - Olympic Watermelon Pops


In just a few short weeks the chants of 
USA, USA will be filling the Olympic air.
It's an exciting time of thrilling competition and patriotic pride.
What better way to celebrate our country, while watching the games, than with 
USA Watermelon Ice Pops?!?

They are easy to make and as fun to wave as Old Glory...

Use cookie cutters on thick sliced watermelon...

and insert popsicle stick.
Sprinkle with lemon juice and a touch a salt for added zest,
or leave unseasoned and place in freezer for at least 2 hours.

America the Beautiful, indeed!
