My Favorite Fourth of July Recipes

RefreshHer2 Comments

Recently while I was having coffee with a friend, she asked if I had any recipes that I could suggest for her Fourth of July celebration. My mind went zooming to my blog recipes and came up with a list that I thought I’d share with you, too, just in case you need some ideas of what to serve at your barbecue this weekend! Loosen your belt and let’s go!!

If you need a little appetizer before the meal, these Cheese Straws are a good southern favorite! This Tex-Mex Black Bean Dip is a light appetizer that you can serve with whatever kind of tortilla chip you enjoy.

This S’mores Dip is so easy and delicious. It would make a great appetizer, but also a fantastic, quick dessert.

Refreshing Frozen Pies

I’m re-posting a recipe today from many years ago, simply because these pies are perfect for summer meals! They’ve gotten hidden in my blog, so I wanted to share once again and make sure they’re listed on my recipe page as well. Enjoy!

Summer days call for cool treats, and one of my favorite things to serve (and eat!) is a frozen pie. They don’t cause the kitchen to get heated up, and they’re so refreshing to enjoy on a hot day!

The two recipes I’m sharing today are Strawberry and Peanut Butter. They are creamy, cool, and delicious!

Bite-Sized Pumpkin Pies

Last week we sat down with the half of our family that lives near us to have an early dinner that resembled Thanksgiving. I served Turkey breast, Individual Sweet Potato Casseroles, green beans, Frozen Cranberry Fruit Salad and Hawaiian rolls. We all looked forward to the turkey breast and sides, but also the Pumpkin Pie. One author said,

“But see, in our open clearings, how golden the melons lie; Enrich them with sweets and spices, and give us the pumpkin pie!”
~Margaret Junkin Preston

Rather than making one big pie, I made mini ones. How small were they? Well, I made them in mini muffin tins. I loved them because you get pie crust all the way around the filling! They were the perfect little bite of dessert! Well, we may have had more than “one bite,” but you get my drift! They were so easy to make!

Delicious Frozen Peanut Butter Pie Recipe for Any Gathering

How thankful I am to be a part of my church – Boones Creek Bible Church. It’s a church filled with believers who love the Lord, His Word and have a burden for the lost. It’s not perfect, of course, and that is also true of the members (this one included!). But it’s the Gospel that keeps us united and has kept the doors open for all these years.

Yesterday we had the blessing of celebrating the church’s 69th anniversary – all of His grace. It was a sweet joy to hear the testimony of Jerry Partin, the son of the man who had a huge part in starting the church. He happens to be Willie Partin’s father. If you’ve attended camp at all at The Wilds, you know Willie. He was also in our service yesterday. He preached the message. Hebrews 12 was his text – It was a powerful reminder to keep our eyes on Christ and persevere. Oh, how easy it is for me to get my eyes on people and become disappointed, or to look at my struggles and get “weary and discouraged in my soul!” It’s only by looking at our Savior and knowing that He is greater and better that I can press on! I pray that truth encourages you, too!

We had a church dinner afterwards, of course, and it was delicious, and a sweet time of fellowship. I took a few dishes, two of which are favorites.
