Independence Day Foods

Our family LOVES lighting fireworks in the backyard. Occasionally, we also have fun foods too. This year I tried some new recipes for taco dip, and fruit desserts.

Patriotic Taco Dip

Ingredients:

Tortilla Chips
Grape or Cherry Tomatoes
2 cans Refried Beans
Black Olives
1 1/2 cups Guacamole
2 cups white Shredded Cheese
8 oz. Cream Cheese
16 oz. Sour Cream
Taco Seasoning Packet

Directions:

Place refried beans on the bottom of a 9×13 baking dish.
Place the guacamole on the beans.
Mix the cream cheese, sour cream, and taco seasoning. Then place it in the dish.
Place the shredded cheese on the top.
Next place the olives in the top left corner like the blue field of the American flag.
Last place the tomatoes in stripes on the cheese to look like a flag.

Berry Angel Food Cake

Ingredients:

2 Angel Food cake mix
Blue and Red Berries
Cool Whip

Directions:

Bake the angel food cake according to the directions for 3 baking pans and let it cool.
Wash and slice the berries, we used strawberries, blackberries, and blueberries.
Spread some of the cream on one of the cakes and add a few berries.
Place another cake on top of the berries and spread some more cream and berries on that cake too.
Then place the last cake on the top and spread some more cream.
Last place the berries in randomly or in a fancy pattern if you want!
