Host an Easy Celebration this 4th!

    This 4th of July, instead of fighting traffic and crowds for the best spot to watch fireworks, bring the party to your house and host a barbecue with this easy All-American menu.

    Root Beer Barbecue Sauce
    Ditch the store-bought stuff and make your own! And what's more American than root beer? Just combine the following:
    • 2 Liters of your favorite root beer
    • 2 Cups brown sugar
    • 1 Cup white granulated sugar
    • 1 Cup vinegar
    • 1 small can tomato paste
    • 1 Tsp cayenne, salt, and pepper

    Fruit Salad in a Watermelon
    Just as fun and festive as carving a pumpkin for Halloween! With a large knife, simply remove the top quarter of the watermelon and carve out the flesh and seeds. Chop up the fruit and mix with your favorite fruits like berries, bananas, melons, grapes, oranges, or pineapples. Use the watermelon shell to hold the salad, and a simple dish turns into a masterpiece!


    Red, White, and Blue Cupcakes
    With just white cake mix, a little food coloring, frosting, and sprinkles, your guests can enjoy a patriotic treat after a savory meal. For the complete recipe, click here!


    Stay Cool!
    Lastly, beat the heat with this tasty drink recipe at FoodNetwork.com. It uses watermelon schnapps, cranberry juice, tequila, blue curacao, and - believe it or not - peppers! For a non-alcoholic version, carefully pour layers of blue Gatorade, clear soda, and Grenadine over ice.
