Favorite 4th of July Tablesetting and Recipes

The 4th of July is a great opportunity to enjoy time outdoors, the company of family and friends, and to set a beautiful, casual outdoor table.

While it's by nature a casual holiday, it's fun to dress up your home just a little. See some great last minute Red,White & Blue decorations you can add to the festive look of your home HERE.

Metal Urn & Pedestal

Our own beautiful outdoor table setting using my favorite Red White & Blue Checked Dishes. I just love how fresh and all American this table looks, and since the French gifted the Statue of Liberty to the US, it's appropriate to mix in a few French pieces.

Now for some fantastic recipes I want to share. Start the day off right with my delicious Gluten Free Pancakes! Topped with fresh strawberries or blueberries, and a little dollop of whipped cream {if you must, after all it's a holiday!} these are not only delicious, they offer a powerhouse beginning to your day, 28 g of protein, at 288 calories.

Instead of offering sliced watermelon at your table, why not try this delicious Watermelon Salad?

Who doesn't love Blueberry Shortcake? This Gingered Blueberry Shortcake is not only delicious, it's a snap to make.

For variety, try these mini treats, festive to look at, and a delight to your tastebuds! Strawberry Blueberry Mini Cheesecake Treats. We will be enjoying a BBQ and plenty of sunshine in our garden on the 4th, then watching fireworks on our street. I hope that you have a relaxing, fun filled and safe Fourth of July!

Yes, we love our urn, it arrived at our home in NC last week. It’s on the porch, loaded up with shells and starfish, just like you recommended. So far, four people have stopped by and asked where we got it! I sent them all to FrenchGardenHouse.com. Happy Fourth.

Love the pancake idea, my husband, Paul is allergic to wheat, so this is perfect. Our two pairs of gorgeous antique pillows arrived, they look fantastic, thank you. Will call you next week re:Majolica order. xo
