July 4th Meatloaf

You may be wondering what meatloaf has to do with your red, white, and blue menu. When you cook your meatloaf, top it with a ketchup-based sauce that will be — you guessed it — red. This is a fun dish, and it can sit on the table with barbecue, etc.

If you want to take the next step, you can always prepare hot dogs with ketchup and mustard. If you line the bun with mustard, your guests can’t see it and the ketchup is on top.

The Parfait

Everyone’s seen the red, white, and blue parfait dessert. You can choose any combination of berries and whipped cream, you like. Since the whipped cream is on top, that’s your white component. You can use blueberries and raspberries in the dish to add to the patriotic theme.

Mashed potatoes can work in the white category. A cauliflower salad with dried cranberries and a creamy dressing could also fit here.

The Drinks

Not a lot of blue foods to choose from for July 4th. But, you have drinks. We all know that there are plenty of blue beverages out there you can try from soft drinks to flavored waters and cocktails. You can even buy the cocktails pre-made so that the bottle is already blue and stands out. You could also choose your favorite wine, champagne, or prosecco in a blue bottle to add to the theme.

You can get all these items to the party with reusable bags from Custom Grocery Bags. Reach out at any time to learn more about party planning and promotions.
