In case you do not know, I will take most of June to spend time with my new baby who should be here anytime during the next 2 weeks! However do not worry! I'll have some amazing friends of food bloggers who will post recipes on my blog while I'm away!
But, as I will miss sharing new recipes with you for one of my favorite vacations, I have decided to share another patriotic recipe to help you prepare for the 4th of July. After all, it's never too early to plan fun, festive-themed meals to serve your family and friends!
Depending on the ripeness of your berries, you can also prepare them in advance. My strawberries were still quite firm, so they lasted a couple of days in the refrigerator without letting juice drip everywhere and dissolve the cheesecake centers. You really should do this ... they are very tasty!
