Cooking up artistically delicious family-friendly dishes from my Kudos Kitchen to yours!
Red, White and Blue Dessert Nachos are a patriotic sweet treat your family and friends will rave about. Homemade cinnamon sugar tortilla chips are generously topped with red and blue seasonal berries, a white chocolate drizzle, and sweetened coconut.
Three cheers for the red white & blue! From breakfast to desserts (mostly desserts), I’ve got you covered with this Red White & Blue Recipe Roundup. After all, no self-respecting 4th of July party or gathering would be worth attending without one (or more) of these USA inspired flag colored treats!
There was a time, not all that long ago, when I used to bake a decorate sugar cookies almost every day. That was about 10 years ago when I ran a small home based cookie business called Kudos Kookies. Notice anything familiar about the name? 😉
Now I only bake and decorate sugar cookies when I’m really in the mood, and when there is a special occasion. For me, Memorial Day and the 4th of July are just the types of special occasions which call for patriotic cookies. Especially when they’re these fun American Flag Heart Decorated Sugar Cookies.
It’s summertime kids, and you know what that means? Outdoor fun, and outdoor grilling. And what’s everyone’s favorite thing to make on the grill in the summertime? You guessed it… BURGERS!
Today’s Friday’s Featured Foodie Feastings is boasting a Big Burger Bonanza Recipe Roundup! Hip, hip, hooray!! Raise your hand if you love burgers! *raising both hands and waving wildly*
I’ve always tended to gravitate towards the potato salad when it comes to a picnic or buffet table. There is something about a perfectly cooked and soft potato mixed with a creamy sauce that gets me every time. I mean EVERY time!
This Creamy Golden Dijon Potato Salad is everything I want in a chilled potato salad, and I trust it will be everything you’re looking for as well.
However, if you’re not prepared to wait until summer to make this delicious Spicy Thai Pulled Pork with Orange, I completely understand! If I was you, I’d think up a reason to have friends and family over as soon as possible (maybe for an impromptu game night), just so you can make and serve these amazing sandwiches! I promise you won’t regret it one bit!!
Since we live in the Midwest, my husband and I are all about sausages. He’s partial to Italian sausage, and I’m partial to bratwurst. I can easily eat a sausage without a bun to keep the carb level low, but he’s all about a bread and meat combo.
When time is short but you want to whip up something fun and fanciful that everyone will love for that Memorial Day or 4th of July party, why not make up a tray of these Patriotic Red White & Blue Sugared Cherries? And while you’re at it, get the kids involved in the fun. After all, dipping the white chocolate covered cherries in the bright blue sugar is a whole lot of fun for big and little hands alike!
What goes better with a backyard BBQ or party in the warm weather than a chilled pasta salad? Not much in my book. This recipe for chilled Surprise Orzo Pasta Salad with Sweet Corn and Blueberries is the perfect accompaniment for any kind protein. Or, it can be a vegetarian lovers delight, and stand completely on its own.
I can’t seem to stop myself from coming up with fun and unusual ways to utilize pie dough. More times than not I use the store-bought variety to keep things simple, and to keep things less intimidating if you’re new to baking. Today I’m super excited to share with you my easy recipe for Deconstructed Cinnamon Sugar Apple Pie Wedges. I just know you’re going to love them!
