It’s summer, so who wants to fuss to celebrate a holiday? Here are two simple ways to commemorate our great country…

Get a blue vase and fill it with red flowers (roses, zinnias, scarlet salvia or dahlias) and white flowers (phlox, Queen Anne’s lace, cosmos or chrysanthemums). Presto!—nature’s Old Glory for your table.

Serve up patriotic colors with red velvet cupcakes with white icing and blue sprinkles. (We were going to say blueberries, but that’s way too healthy to put on a red-velvet cupcake.)
