It's almost Independence Day
July is almost here which means Independence Day is just a few days away.
I have been looking around for some fun crafts and recipes to celebrate the day with the kids in my family.
My friend Christine from Dine Without Whine send me this yummy flag pie recipe that I just had to share with you.
Red, White and Blueberry Pie
Makes 8 servings
1. In a microwave or heavy saucepan, melt white chocolate, stir until smooth. Dip the 8 halved strawberries halfway in the chocolate. Place cutside down on a waxed paper-lined baking sheet. Refrigerate for 15 minutes or until set. Spread the remaining melted chocolate over the bottom and sides of crust. Arrange sliced strawberries in crust.
2. In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and confectioners' sugar until smooth. Gradually add milk, mix well. Beat in pudding mix on low speed for2 minutes or until thickened. Spread evenly over sliced strawberries.
3. Place blueberries in center of pie. Arrange dipped strawberries around the edge. Pipe or dollop whipped topping between the strawberries and blueberries.
Refrigerate until serving.
Doesn't that sound yummy. And it would make such a beautiful centerpiece for any 4th of July cookout.
If you are a busy mom like me, you should definitely check out Christine's Menu Mailer Service full of recipes everyone in your family will like. Check out her Dine Without Whine website for some sample menus.

I was the proud (and happy) winner of a subscription to Dine without Whine recently and our family is SOOOO happy. No more standing at the fridge at 4:45 trying to decide what to make. I remember years ago when my kids were really small thinking how I would LOVE it if someone would do all the thinking for me like this and now I have it! The recipes are good, my kids (now 13 and 11) actually have the responsibility of making dinner and we save TONS of money by eating out less.
Check it out!
