Fourth of July - Independence Day

On July 4, 1776 the Continental Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence.  Since that time the Fourth of July has been considered the birthday of the United States of America.  The day is often celebrated with fireworks, parades, concerts, family picnics and barbecues.

Here in the north the days are long in the summer.  Sunset on July 4th is after 9 pm, and it isn't dark enough for fireworks until after 10 pm.  What to do with all that evening time?  How about some All-American Apple Pie and Ice Cream to round out the day's celebration!

July 4th Red, White and Blue Pie 
Apple pie
Cherry pie
Blueberry pie
Vanilla ice cream or whipped topping
Lemonade or Iced Tea

Pull out that picnic blanket and claim your space early to watch fireworks.  Fruit pies do not have to be refrigerated, and will travel nicely wherever you go.  Paper plates and cups are easy clean-up.  Beverages travel well in a thermos with ice.  Whipped topping can be frozen, and will thaw to serving temperature in a small cooler as you travel to your favorite fireworks venue.  Ice Cream doesn't travel well, but is a favorite pie topping if you're at home and near the freezer.
