For a fun and festive Independence Day, put together a 4th of July Dessert Board! I’ve seen some pretty creative red, white, and blue 4th of July food in my day. For a party tray that will impress guests without the stress, try making a 4th of July Dessert Board. What you need to put together a 4th of July Dessert Board Before you get started, check your kitchen and pantry to see what items you already have on hand.

One-pan meals, one-pot meals, one-skillet meals, and sheet pan meals like this are some of my favorite recipes. They’re great for super busy nights, and especially for when I don’t want to spend all night doing dishes. It’s in my veins and I can’t get enough of this beautiful, pink, nutrient-dense fish. I love this sheet pan salmon and vegetables dish with the Chardonnay from Open Claim Vineyards.

So if you happen to have missed the season’s best strawberries, I’ve got a recipe that allows you to use fresh, frozen, or canned fruit! That way, I know exactly what’s in them (usually just fresh fruit, yogurt, and maybe some herbs) and what’s NOT in them (high fructose corn syrup, artificial coloring, and other junk). Simply substitute equal parts of the strawberries and the rhubarb (1 cup each) in either frozen or fresh quantities for the 2 cups of canned fruit that the recipe calls for. Being an Oregon girl, I love that Oregon Fruit Products cans fresh fruit from their farms.

The Wilder Townhouse is a beautiful luxury hotel that offers travelers a peaceful stay just a short walk to the busy heart of Dublin. It’s the perfect hotel for the traveler looking to enjoy the faster pace of the city and then enjoy a calm, replenishing sleep overnight. I stayed in one of the Shoebox Double rooms, which sounds small, but is actually quite spacious for a city hotel room. In this main dining room, you can order light bites for most of the day, such as a Cheese and Charcuterie plate, along with a nice drink selection.
