4th of July EATING!!

I know this idea would have been MORE helpful before the 4th but my kids loved making these fruit kabobs and I think we will do this more often with different fruits for snacks all the time...the ideas are limitless..bananas, grapes, apples, pineapple...etc. I was trying to have them do a pattern but they didn't want to do that! Oh well!

Also, I LOVE this pie... I made it for the 4th but is yummy all summer long! This is an old Pampered Chef recipe so I can't take claim for it but I thought I would pass it along! My kids loved the dipped strawberries!

Red, White, and Blueberry Pie

1 pie crust (refrigerated premade) ( I actually used the Marie Callenders frozen one because it comes in a pie tin)
1 quart fresh strawberries
4 squares white chocolate for baking
1 8oz cream cheese
¾ cup cold milk
1 3.3 oz pkg white chocolate instant pudding
1 ½ cups blueberries
1 cup cool whip

Preheat oven to 425 and bake crust 10-12 minutes and cool completely. Slice Strawberries (reserve 8 for garnish). Melt white chocolate (in microcooker for 1 minute stirring every 10 seconds) until smooth. Dip strawberry halves (8 reserved) cut in half with stem still on. Place in fridge for 15 minutes.

Put remaining chocolate on pie crust. Spread evenly and put sliced strawberries on top.
Beat cream cheese, milk, and pudding until thick and spread on top of strawberries.
Arrange blueberries on top evenly. Pipe cool whip along edge and put dipped strawberries on the cool whip. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
