You can also make this delicious Layered Bacon Pea Salad (such a classic recipe!) or our family-favorite Wild Rice Salad (also festive for the 4th of July), and this scrumptious Classic Raspberry Cobbler recipe! Don’t forget Millie’s Old Fashioned Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream.
Need a quick burger recipe (that’s gluten-free?), then try these Grilled BEST Turkey Burgers (made with almond meal). If you want a low carb recipe, then try these Low-Carb Cheeseburger Sliders – YUM!
How to make mini blueberry caprese skewers
- Wash and dry the cherry tomatoes.
- Next, push one blueberry on the skewer, followed by a tomato and a folded-over piece of basil.
- Then push a piece of mozzarella next to the basil, followed by another large blueberry!
- Lay the Blueberry Caprese Skewers in a row, on a platter.
- Optional to drizzle with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and salt and pepper.

Perfect for any party, especially for the 4th of July, you can aslo drizzle with balsamic glaze (we love DeLallo brand), just in case you like those flavors. We do!
Adding glaze does make them a little messier.
Hospitality goals
One of our dreams when moving to Bend 5 years ago, was to have a house large enough for our family to flourish, as well as a great place to host and experience community. Getting together in a cozy atmosphere is actually … quite lovely. And we love our back deck for hosting!
Our goal: To invite deeper relationships and more hospitable moments around our table.
Happy 4th of July week ahead, and happy hosting with your loved ones … or neighbors or new friends?
Don’t get stuck always doing the same thing year after year!
Change it up!
