We didn’t miss the tahini in this tahini-less hummus. To round out the flavor and texture, I blended in some feta and then topped the hummus with olive oil, feta crumbles and a dash of paprika and cayenne pepper.

Shave ice is commonly thought of as a Hawaiian specialty, and though this is now true, its origins actually trace back to Japan where it is known as kakigori. Now variations of shaved ice can be found all around the world.

Rice Krispie Treats are great for summer parties, barbeques and potlucks because they are quick, easy and always a crowd-pleaser. For the 4th of July I added red and blue M&M’s for a fun red, white and blue treat. I cut them into stars and flags to fit the theme.

Parfait, French for “perfect,” is traditionally a French dessert. In the United States it has transitioned into a healthy and filling breakfast or snack, typically made with yogurt, granola and berries. In the spirit of the 4th of July I layered strawberry, vanilla and blueberry yogurts with homemade granola to create a festive red, white and blue breakfast.

Popsicles are super easy to make as long as you have some time to let them freeze. At the most basic level all you need is some fruit juice. For extra vitamins and some oomph in flavor, I like to blend in fruit, leaving some of the berries whole and some of the other types of fruit in chunks. You can use whatever combo of juices and fresh or frozen fruit that you’d like.
