The 4th of July is coming up quickly! I love the 4th of July!  I love…Americans celebrating the signing of the Declaration of Independence…  Americans celebrating with family and friends…Americans waving the Red, White, and Blue…Americans listening to Patriotic Songs…Americans watching fireworks exploding in the night…The 4th is a day of celebration.

4th Of July Celebration

n.

a festive picnic or barbecue celebrated on the 4th of July to commemorate the signing of The Declaration of Independence, featuring creative recipes, colorful red, white, and blue decorations, American flags, parades and fireworks

My menu for our 4th of July Celebration will include many summertime favorites…Lots of cold picnic food to help battle the heat.

 First course…

Cheese Board with crackers, fruit, nuts, olives, Peppadew peppers, prosciutto and summer sausage.

I love the proscuitto rolled into little florets!  I got the idea from Cheese Grotto.

This cute mouse cheese board…made in Vermont!

Another cutting board made in Vermont with a much simpler cheese presentation.

Customize your cheese board by adding any other cheeses, nuts, pesto, hummus, veggies, artichoke hearts, bread or crostini.

Another way to use the sweet piquanté pepper or Peppadew pepper, is to stuff with boursin cheese and top with a pecan or walnut.  You can leave it on the cheese board or serve it as a separate appetizer.
