Let’s Celebrate July 4th!

By Janette | Uncategorized

Hello, everyone.  We are excited about this special post today.  We are teaming up with another mother/daughter blog called 2 Bees in a Pod.  We met Jennifer and Vicki a few years ago and said we should do something together, and we are finally getting around to it.  Jordan and I are sharing a special July 4th dessert today, and when you finish with our post, please use the link below to visit and see what the  2 Bees are up to.

If you are new to The 2 Seasons, then welcome.  My daughter Jordan and I have written our blog together for over six years.  Jordan lives in North Carolina with her husband and two year old daughter they adopted from Thailand.  My husband and I live in Lexington, KY.  We cover a bunch of different topics here.  You will find decorating, crafts, DIY projects, recipes, travel, book reviews, adoption posts, budget savers, thrifting, and a whole lot of other topics that we enjoy.  We like to say that our blog posts are like mini-magazine articles.  Take a look around.  We hope you like what you see and will become regular visitors and get to know us better.

Now, let’s get to the recipe.  July 4th is truly a family happening around here.  We all get together here in Lexington, and I happily cook for the crew in between all of the great holiday activities.  I love to prepare foods ahead, and this patriotic dessert recipe is definitely one that is made ahead.  It is no-cook and no-bake.  It is also festive and tasty, and the fact that it is red, white, and blue helps, too.  The kids can even help make this one, but beware……it involves food coloring!
