From Pedicures to Puddles: Recipe

I ♥ the fourth of July holiday! I love the extra day off from work, the gooood food, and the family time!! I plan to make a yummy dessert for the backyard party we have been invited to and can't decide between these:

Fuit Kabobs: alternate between strawberries, bananas, and blueberries (feel free to use raspberries instead of strawberries) SOURCE

chocolate dipped pretzels: melt semi sweet chocolate chips with a bit of oil in the microwave. Stir every 30 seconds until it is liquid. Use a spatula to cover end of pretzel stick, then sprinkle to your hearts desire :o) SOURCE

So....is it obvious that I am not the cooking kind?? I love it when it looks great and is super easy! That is also why I LOVE a FREE printable!!

Check out these awesome red, white and blue paper goodies and send me pics of how you use them this weekend!! I would love to feature you :o)
