Looking for Patriotic Recipes/Ideas

[EMarth123]

I'm doing a booth next month and they do a theme for all the vendors. This months theme is Red White & Blue.

I'm trying to find a good recipe to have there that fits within the theme. However since it's outside I'm trying to stay away from anything creamy that could melt.

Anybody got any ideas??? TIA!

Personally I don't do food for booths. I would just decorate my booth with red white and blue and call it good.

I agree with Wadesgirl. If you want to be patriotic, the patriotic tablecloth is in the outlet right now....

Also you can get LOTS of great r/w/b decor at the dollar stores right now.
I agree - avoid the food and just decorate in r/w/b.

put some red white and blue christmas bulbs in the trifel bowl and thread white ribbion throughout!

If u DO decide to have food, strawberries, blueberries & cut up pound cake layered in trifle....? If u choose to serve, have individual pudding cups.... tell them u'd normally have pudding layered in too, but being outside....... they'll understand.

Or use the cool N serve tray, use strawberries and blueberries and just make a yogurt dip.

Here's something I use between my layer cakes, I could see you using a it in a trifle as the binding agent: dissolve a packet of flavored gelatin (strawberry? raspberry?) in a few teaspoons of boiling water.. just enough to mostly dissolve the mix... then whisk with fruit juice sweetened preserves of the same fruit (i.e. strawberry/raspberry)... refrigerate until thickened, about an hour. Keep canned whip or even the Accent Decorator in a cooler at your booth and put a dab on each cup! for more volume, I suppose you could make up fruited jello cubes, but remember to use less water, jello MELTS.

I can't find the recipe.... it wasn't pampered chef but I'm sure you could make your own twist... it was a red and white salsa (jicama, tomatoes, red peppers---chili? not sure what kind, red onion and seasoning) with those blue corn chips.
