Happy 4th of July!!
I hope you’re enjoying the long holiday weekend. After a couple years of mellow 4ths, this year we’re planning to make something delicious, head to the pool, and catch some fireworks!
If you’re doing the same today and need a last-minute dish to share, I’m sharing some festive Fourth recipes below along with family-friendly activities and some summery home decor ideas!
Adobe Express: New App!
I’ve partnered with Adobe Express on this post to share these recipes in creative visual form. Adobe Express is a new graphic design app that makes creating everything from flyers to cards to posters to social media graphics super easy. Everything is drag-and-drop and easy to edit. And there are hundreds of templates and stock photos to try. I made all of the graphics in this post using the app.
Give it a test run here!
