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.

Very cute ideas. The Fourth of July is one of my favorite holidays. I love all things patriotic.
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.
These are so darn cute! I love the watermelon turned into stars and the red, white and blue fruit skewers!
These all look wonderful! Thanks for sharing with us. Happy Fourth of July to you and your family!!!
Lots of clever deserts. I especially like the watermelon star fruit plate.
Those are great! Happy 4th!
I’m so excited, because your ideas are easy, and I think I have the ingredients on hand to pull two of them off! Thanks for the multiple options posted here for a delicious and healthy 4th of July!
That fruit salad looks heavenly! Thanks for sharing such great photos and ideas!
I love your 4th celebration! It’s beautiful. And fruit is always a good addition to any holiday spread. I do really like your red, white, and blue cupcakes. I haven’t seen anything like that this holiday. Happy 4th!
