4th Of July Recipe
Are you looking for a 4th of July recipe that is just that little
bit different and has that "wow" factor?
If you're an American, your Independence Day celebrations are
going to include the traditional red, white and blue theme. Why
not spice up your recipes for 4th July by preparing a variety of
red, white and blue foods.
For example, you could prepare an American flag cake for dessert,
decorated with cherries and blueberries, or a delicious
dried fruit compote. Or how about a
healthy herb-baked tomatoe recipe, or even a mouth-watering tomato and onion soup?
I have a simple yet delicious tomato soup - made with onion,
(red food) - that's
just the perfect 4th of July recipe. It is substantial enough to
serve as a main course and is ideal for vegetarians who only need
to make one substitution.
The whole point of 4th of July Independence Day celebrations is to
keep it simple so you you have plenty of time to enjoy yourself.
The beauty of this wonderful tasting 4th of July recipe, is that
the tomato soup can be prepared in advance, leaving you with very
little left to do prior to serving.
