Are you ready for the Fourth of July? I know you aren't all in the U.S. but Independence Day is Caytlin and my favorite holiday. We love the community feel of it where it's a mix of both friends and family. We love the fireworks and activities associated with the day (hello swimming and water balloon fights!) and most of all we love the food. So here's some of our collection to get you going!

Red White and Blue Recipes

​Red White & Blue Caprese Salad: This is one of the best recipes to come out of the test kitchen this summer. We’re obsessed! We know how much you love our Caprese Avocado Salad. We turned it into a Red, White, and Blue version that’ll knock your socks off.

​Creamy Berry Trifle: Our trifle has layers of angel food cake, homemade white chocolate pudding, freshly whipped cream, and delicious berries. It's sure to be a hit!

​Red White and Blue Slushies: Be the hostess with the mostess with this delicious Red, White, and Blue Slushy. It comes together in a flash with flavors that will make a splash.

​Red White and Blue Fruit Salad: Give your patriotic celebrations a little more pizazz with an appropriately colorful fruit salad that’s also incredibly delicious. You can even throw in some stars! We have tried and tested these flavors again and again at potluck after barbecue after party and it is always a huge hit. No leftover fruit salad here!

​Red White and Blue Rice Krispie Treats: Create unforgettable memories with these fun, easy-to-make, colorful Rice Krispie treats. Perfect for all your celebratory needs! And, of course, you can use any color combination you'd like!

Notes From the Studio

Things have been a bit chaotic as we've dealt with summer travel and also summer sickness, but we've still been in the studio having a lot of fun with food. If you aren't watching us on stories (Facebook or Instagram) then you are missing out! I'm trying to share as much behind the scenes as I can. We aren't in production every day, but when we are there is so much to share.

The real highlight of the past couple of weeks has been having another fan visit to the studio! John and Barb are on an epic year-long road trip across the United States and were coming through our area. Caytlin was out of town, but I was able to come in on a lovely Saturday afternoon to have a visit with them.

It is always so much fun to sit and talk with you about the recipes you've made and loved. I can never express enough gratitude for how much of an honor it is for us to be part of your every day meals, your holiday celebrations, and your family traditions. It brings tears to my eyes just writing this.

John and Barb, it was truly an honor having you!

If any of you ever find yourselves passing through Pleasant Grove, Utah--we'd love to have you too! For those already in the area, you can always shoot a message to see if we're available to have you stop in. Our audience seating is on its way and the lighting grid and video production equipment is in process for install. When that is all done, we'll be hosting events with live studio audiences. I serioiusly can't wait to welcome as many of you as possible! For the rest, we'll have you join us virtually through video.

​
Happy Independence Day!
