4 | FESTIVE RED, WHITE & BLUE CREAM CHEESE DIP

You know I love a dip! And when you can make a dip that is delicious AND color-appropriate, then why not? You can see the full recipe in my Red, White & Blue Cream Cheese Dip here! It’s got a sweet, smoky and spicy flavor, but the cream cheese smooths it all out.

Definitely a winner and you can make it in less than 5 minutes!

5 | PATRIOTIC STRIPED PLANTER

I love this cute little blue and white planter! It’s especially fun if you add red flowers. This entire project took less than 10 minutes and only cost $2 to make.

The flowers were from Lowes and were only a few dollars. If you can’t find a blue pot, then spray paint one!

6 | RED, WHITE & BLUE SCARF WREATH

If you don’t have a Patriotic front door wreath up, then you can absolutely make one. And for under $10 and in less than 30 minutes. Here’s the full tutorial for my red, white and blue scarf wreath and spoiler alert…its all made with supplies from the Dollar Tree!

7 | SPICY COLD CORN DIP

This one is ALWAYS a hit! If you aren’t a huge fan of heat, then you can decrease the amount of diced jalapenos from the can. If you come over for anything at my house, you can probably bet I’ll have a bowl of the corn dip sitting out. We can’t get enough!

It is a cold dip, so if you make it ahead, just stick it in the refrigerator until you are ready to serve. 

So yummy with tortilla chips! 

8 | 4 INGREDIENT CHICKEN SALAD

Again, another hit!  I make this chicken salad year-round and serve it with pretzel crisps, crackers or pita chips and sometimes even on mini slider buns.

Since it doesn’t exactly scream 4th of July lacking the appropriate colors, you could add in cute little American flag picks to the center of the dip bowl to make it more festive. These flags are also perfect to stick in burgers, cupcakes and any side dish!

You could also find red and blue chips since I personally like eating them with tortilla chips sometimes!

Have you made any of my recipes yet? Are you planning to make any for the 4th of July?!
