Summertime and parties go together like Jenny + Forrest don’t they? (Please tell me you know what I’m referencing and I haven’t reached the threshold of being THAT OLD)! In any case – summertime parties growing up always tended toward patriotic themes at my house. My mom is a master decorator and party planner, so we had red, white and blue food, decor, drinks…you name it! Since, I’ve just always designated summer parties with the same theme by default. And to be fair, I love a good Americana theme! Anyone remember my tie dye patriotic bundt cake? In any case, I’ve rounded up some of the absolute best red, white and blue recipes for your patriotic party planning needs! Let’s dive in…

![I grew up in a town so small there isn’t a stoplight. There is a tiny neighborhood grocer, a pizza shop, a post office, community pool and a big park and everyone pretty much knows everyone.
Growing up I couldn’t wait to spread my wings and soar to a big city; I dreamed of a fancy apartment in a high rise surrounded by noise, stores and hustle. But as I get older, I realize there is something truly special about my hometown, the people in it and the feeling I get returning. I’ve spent almost two weeks here with my parents and it has never been more apparent to me that our branches can only reach high if our roots run deep 🌳 [amazing hydrangeas from my mom’s garden]](http://scontent-ort2-2.cdninstagram.com/vp/340a2a5246aaaa7289699b844e2b86be/5C55B3B0/t51.2885-15/e35/s320x320/42512063_906037559600431_5061911736563751230_n.jpg "I grew up in a town so small there isn’t a stoplight.
