Such charming plate patterns you've got in red, white, and blue! And that last pic with the wedge of quiche looks truly yummy!
The pictures are beautiful as well as the ones on Teeny's site. I love all the blueberry desserts and the plate pattern too :)
Great plates and I'm looking forward to cherries! I just posted a mini patriotic berry pie:@)
Love the photos...so patriotic!
We celebrate BIG around here...not only our nation's independence, but my birthday... Food is always a big part of our celebration and we usually have barbecued pork..pulled, chopped, or even ribs. Occasionally, we host a July 4th brunch...egg stratas, ham, grits, biscuits, lots of fruit...And of course, we have desserts...blueberry and peach cobbler, birthday cake, brownies and gooey butter cake, or red'white and blueberry trifle....or all of the above, depending on the number of people in attendence. No matter what...it's always fun!
Gorgeous pics!! We always go big for the fourth... a pool party with all the trimmings and the dearest of friends! You always celebrate a birthday with those closest to you, so it only seems natural our Nations birthday should be celebrated the same!
Yum. that quiche looks so delicious! fantastic dishes! xoox, tracie
Everything looks so good! The Blackberry-Raspberry Cobbler looks wonderful. I just happen to have Blackberries growing on one side of the shed and Raspberries on the other side. I am going to keep this in mind when they are ready:) Have a wonderful 1st day of SUMMER:)
I'm in love with that stack of dishes. Who makes them?
We don't have a set 4th of July menu. One year we might serve burgers, hot dogs, and fries or perhaps barbecue. This year it's going to be fried chicken.
What will you serve?

For July 4, we're having a Boston butt, slaw, baked beans, fruit, cornbread, and blackberry cobbler. Real food with real calories.
No cabbage. :-)
Sarah, I'm swamped with deadlines, and I purchased the RF license for the photo of the plates--isn'tit pretty? I wish I knew the manufacturer, too, but it isn't listed. I've seen red polka dot plates at Amazon.com (I have some!). I'll check the brand.
