Where will you be for Fourth of July?
Or, for non-US readers: When is your country’s independence day?
Steph says
They look great! I’m loving your website. I make your 5 minute chocolate bars for everyone, all the time!
As for independence day, we don’t have that here in the Netherlands. Instead we celebrate on Queen’s Day, which is our Queen’s birthday. It used to change dates as our Queen changed, but our current Queen decided to leave it on her mother’s birthday, April 30. With our current Queen being born on January 31, she thought that wouldn’t make such a nice party time given the cold weather. We celebrate with a country-wide flea market, parties, festivals, etc on the streets.
Also being a Canadian, I noticed from misconceptions above- as of 1867 Canada became a Dominion in the British Empire (later the Commonwealth), however we still maintain the British Queen and her representatives in Canada as our Head of State (as does Australia). Therefore, we are not ‘part of’ Great Britain but do share a special link as we have a shared Head of State. This is different than many other Commonwealth countries who do not have the Queen as their Head.

In the past two days I have made:
Lightened Up Corn Casserole
Crazy-Good Ranch Dressing
Chocolate Cake [with a crazy ingredient]
Single Lady Cupcakes
“Banana Split” Chocolate Butter
It’s been fun. 😀 I made the whole family (including my dad who DETESTS health food) try the chocolate cake. Everybody loved it! The only thing that didn’t turn out was the “Banana Split” Chocolate Butter. I think I just might not be a bananas and peanut butter and chocolate person. 😛
Thanks again for the super fun recipes.

Aw thank you for trying so many! The best part of blogging is when someone actually makes one of the recipes I’ve posted!

Hey Katie, ever look into this site?

It has some really good vegan info, and talks about how we should really eat…

I’m going to make the 4th of July “Chocolate Covered Katie Day” and make one of these suggestions for each meal.
Kat says
Oh I might make some of these for Canada Day!
Cassie Tran says
Yummy, everything looks wonderful! The buffalo chickpea chili, brownie batter dip, fruit pizza, sweet potato brownies, apple pie, and sweet potato burgers are definitely on my bucket list! Have an INCREDIBLE Fourth of July celebration!

So many great options! I’m eyeing those sweet potato brownies.
