With the 4th of July right around the corner, I thought it would be fun to share a few fantastic kid-friendly 4th of July recipes from our favorite bloggers!
I know that we all love our 4th of July cookouts with the classic side dishes, but sometimes our kids aren’t so keen on potato and macaroni salad…so why not meet them halfway and serve up one of these tasty treats for dessert?
These kid-friendly 4th of July recipes are not only delicious but so easy to make that you can even get the kids involved in the process!
