4th of July Recipe Roundup
The 4th of July came and went in a flash! I love celebrating this holiday in true American fashion with fun red, white, and blue recipes. Over the years, I’ve collected quite a few that are tried and true. I’ve rounded them all up and linked them below to share with you!
How To Assemble a 4th of July Cheeseboard!

This one has a great selection of both sweet and salty items, snacks, fruits, desserts, and more! You can find the list of ingredients and all the instructions for putting this one together below!
3 Summer Centerpieces for your Outdoor Entertaining
Today I’ve teamed up with Gordmans to put together 3 different summer centerpieces perfect for all your outdoor entertaining! I love to entertain outside during the summer and one of the keys to a beautiful spread is a pretty centerpiece- whether it be on you dining table or serving table. All 3 of these centerpieces are super quick and easy to put together and every single item I’m using came from my Lexington Gordmans store! Even better, the total of all the items together was less than $150 and these are all items you can use again and again both in your indoor and outdoor decor. All three styles are fun and summery but each slightly different: a preppy and colorful ginger jar arrangement, a simple, neutral boho arrangement, and a natural, beachy arrangement.
How to Style a 4th of July Beverage Station + 3 Easy Summer Drink Recipes
One of my favorite ways to entertain outdoors is to set up different food and beverage stations for guest to enjoy. Putting together a big bar cart or beverage table away from the food set-up gives your guests plenty of drink options and the ability to customize their own drinks, while also freeing up space for food on your counter-tops or buffet! I love having designated areas for food, drink, and desserts when entertaining as it helps spread guests out and gives them somewhat of an activity to do as they go from station to station.
