I need some ideas of what, as Jack from China says..."typical American family" appetizers. ANY and all ideas are welcome! I will be asking others to bring some as well, so if it is a recipe that you have, please add it here, and I will send it along for others.

Also, I am going to make a cake with the strawberries and blueberries laid on the top to look like an American flag. Any other "American" desserts? Besides apple pie?

I also made invitations with the American flag muted in back of the info, then have small China, Germany and Slovakia flags on them also.

I wish I would have had my head together around the 4th of July and picked up more red/white/blue things. "/ Any other "American" ideas???

THANKS!!!!

Other american things, vegetable tray with dip and deviled eggs, shrimp cocktail, party mix, we really eat alot of salsa in this country.

Preheat oven to 350°. Whisk together 2 cups of the flour & the confectioners' sugar. Cut in the butter until the mixture clings together. Press the dough into a 13x9x2" baking dish. Bake 20-25 minutes or until lightly browned.
Meanwhile, beat together the eggs, granulated sugar & lemon juice. Mix the remaining 1/4 cup flour with the baking powder; stir into the egg mixture & pour over the hot baked crust. Bake for 25 minutes longer. Remove from the oven & sprinkle w/confectioners' sugar. Cool. Cut into squares.~~ Mountain Measures
