It wouldn’t be 4th of July without some red, white and blue goodies. Rather than a super-sweet flag cake or a mayo-drenched potato salad, I’m trying out a new recipe for breakfast parfaits from So Festive.

According to the author, they only require 5 minutes of prep time and are made with yogurt, berries and granola. Sounds good, right?

Normally, I would use strawberries. After seeing how pretty the raspberries look in her picture, I’m definitely using those this year.

The predicted temperature around here will be 90 degrees, with high humidity, so a cold dish sounds like heaven. As a side note, local fireworks have been canceled, which makes me sad. I LOVE America and I love this holiday in particular. We’ll watch the Macy’s show on TV, but it’s not the same as in person.

If anyone has a good 4th of July recipe, please share!
