What Do I Bring? - 4th of July Picnic

[MrsMB]

Our awesome neighbors, with great firework shows-I might add, have invited us to their house on the 4th. I asked if I could bring anything. Of course, they said, "Nothing...just whatever you want to drink." Of course, I've always been told to NOT come empty handed. I know down here in the South we tell people not to bring anything....but I am bringing something.

Anyone have a suggestion or killer pie recipe?

I feel like you can never have too much fruit. You could do one of those cute blueberry or stawberry desserts that look like the flag.

It's not going to be too hot, so I think you could do just about anything cold.

My picnic go-tos are:

-Veggie Pasta salad
-Key lime pie
-Berry cream pie
-Potato salad with green beans and tarragon dressing
-Angel food cake with whipped cream and strawberries (easy to buy ingredients if you don't want to cook or in a rush)

There's a yummy looking black-eyed pea salsa on Pioneer Woman. That would be yummy with some chips.

And I'm with you, I never show up empty handed.

I like tacocat suggestion of little fruit kabobs that are red, white, and blue! Enjoy your picnic! Sounds like a great way to celebrate!

I'm a dessert person, that's usually what I bring. For the summer I make a eclair pudding pie that is always a hit and is super easy to make.

I would bring either a simple dessert- something in pieces, like brownies or some kind of bar, or an appetizer, like a taco dip or some kind of heartier dip.

This post is making me hungry. Can one of you deliver fruit/dessert/chips and dip to my office right now?
