Fruit for the Fourth
Since I have posted mostly desserts this week for the Fourth of July Holiday, I thought it would be a good idea to share some fruit dishes with you.
Great for breakfast or anytime during your day, a fun fruit parfait. I started with vanilla yogurt, strawberries and blueberries. Then I just layered them in a tall glass.
After seeing these fruit kabobs over at Frugal Girls, I just had to try them. I did change them just a bit. Being the chocolate lover that I am, I just had to add some chocolate. So, I dipped the marshmallows in chocolate.
The kabobs were super quick and easy.
And here’s a fun fruit salad
Just cut the watermelon and place it on a tray or plate to form a star, and fill the middle with your favorite fruit salad.
And finally, I couldn’t help but bake some more fun cupcakes. I made Poke Cupcakes with blue and red jello. You can find the directions and baking tips for all my cupcakes on the Cupcake Heaven page.
And I frosted them with Cool Whip, and decorated with a strawberry and blueberries.
I have had a great time this week, celebrating Fourth of July with you all! Here is an instant re-play if you missed it:

Cool and beautiful. These are some very creative and fun ways to celebrate such a wonderful day!! I love the added chocolate to the star marshmallows! I would have added chocolate to the strawberries too, just sharing my love for chocolate with the berries!
Thanks for sharing.

Oh, that all looks so good! I was hoping our grocery store would have a special holiday sale so I could get strawberries and blueberries… Maybe I should go check tonight.
