Fourth of July Ideas in a Pinch from Foodies Like Us
Hey Foodies, Susie Timm will be on Channel 3 in Phoenix tomorrow, July 2nd at 9:15 AM talking about great last minute ideas for the 4th. Here’s where you can get some of the great ideas we are talking about!!
Red White and Blue Sangria:
1 bottle Pinot Grigio
1/2 cup Triple Sec
1/4 cup Berry Flavored Vodka
1/4 cup fresh lemon Juice
2 TBS Agave Nectar
3/4 Cup Blueberries
3/4 cup sliced strawberries
3/4 cup rasbperries
1/2 cup pineapples cut in shape of stars
Combine all ingredients in a large ceramic or glass container and stir well. Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours. Serve over ice. Serves 7.
2) All of the beautiful dishes, placemats and star-spangled stuff came from Sur La Table. Check out www.surlatable.com!
3) Cakes/Cookies are from Honeymoon Sweets in Tempe www.honeymoonsweets.com
4) Hot Dog Bar—inspired by recipes from this month’s Food Network Magazine July/August 2010 Issue www.foodnetworkmagazine.com
The Sangria was easy to mix up. I should have made a double recipe because everyone only got one serving. Don’t bother cutting the pineapple up into stars unless you are really obsessed. Your guests will notice it for a second and then think you are neurotic for taking the time do to that. My guests appreciated the Blueberry Stoli infused fruit salad as the treat at the end of the drink.
