HAPPY 4th of JULY


Celebrating the 4th of July can be as simple as poking a few tiny American flags into a platter of watermelons, or gathering a bouquet of red, white, and blue flowers.You can wear your favorite flag sweater or shirt...

Or, celebrate in a BIG way, by painting a flag on your garage.Looking for a cool way to celebrate? Whip up a batch of Watermelon Sno Cones.

Watermelon Sno Cones

Seedless watermelon
Vanilla yogurt
Sweetened coconut
Sprinkle or jimmies
Ice cream cones or paper sno cone cups

Using an ice cream scoop, make balls of watermelon and place them in the freezer on a waxed paper-lined cookie sheet for no more than 1 hour. Remove from freezer and roll in vanilla yogurt and then sweetened coconut, and top with sprinkles or jimmies. Place in an ice cream cone or sno cone cup and enjoy.

No matter how you choose to celebrate. Have a great holiday weekend!
