With the fourth of July holiday just days away, it’s time to start gearing up for your holiday get-togethers. We’ve gathered some of our favorite recipes from our friends at Pinterest for the ultimate in yummy, and festive, cookout favorites.

4th of July Party Planning on a Budget

Red, White and Blue Kabobs

Make a red, white and blue spectacular by building blueberries, strawberries and bananas into kabobs. Serve with whipped cream or yogurt for dipping.  This is a great opportunity to let the kids help in the kitchen – building them is a cinch and it totally keeps them busy!

The Patriotic Mocktail

Try this trick with three separate drinks – fruit punch, blue Gatorade and Sprite. Layer in that exact order for the effect to take place.

Festive Three-Layer Cake

Make your holiday cake extra special with three layers  – red velvet, blue velvet, and white. Top with cream cheese frosting, blueberries and strawberries. Serve with a smile, because people are going to be impressed.

Stars and Stripes Fruit Salad

This one might take a little more work, but it’s definitely worth it.  Take a star shaped cookie cutter to slices of watermelon and mix into a bowl of blueberries – instant star spangled fruit salad.

Wait! You gotta check out this Captain America Birthday party!

  4. How do you keep the bananas from turning brown? I have heard lemon juice but I thought it would effect the taste

  5. I tried making the Patriotic Mocktail and it blended all together. Do you need to add ice first? Is there a certain fruit punch I need to use?
