I have a recipe to celebrate Old Glory today: The Red, White & Blue Topped with a Lemon-Honey Non-Dairy Whip Cream.
Old Glory will always fly proudly, too.
My parents are damn proud of this. I am blessed to know that American passion – all 365 days a year.
I’m celebrating Old Glory with my brand new “summer eats, treats & desserts” ebook, and this recipe from the ebook.
This recipe is extremely simple.
And it’s highly refreshing.
It is also gluten, grain, dairy, soy and egg free.
I think you’re going to love it!

Perfect for forth of July! So festive, fresh and light!
Hi Lisa! Thanks:) Happy 4th!
FANTASTIC! You can serve this as dessert any time of the year, not just for the 4th! 😉 I am jealous of everyone you are going to serve this to this Thursday.
Ha ha…don’t be jealous:) Just make it.
I’ve been trying to find a good alternative for coconut milk. I’m highly allergic to coconut (and almonds and soy and dairy) but it seems like it’s in all the best recipes. Any ideas?
Hi Brittany! Have you ever thought of hazelnut milk? I have a recipe using that in my ebook. It won’t work for a lot of these “whipped” recipes, but it’s really good!
Oh Sarah I’m so sorry!!!! That is the worst. I can’t wait to read it when it is ready again!
Tell me about it!!! It was not a good feeling.
Great recipe for the 4th. My simple recipe for the 4th is blueberries and strawberries on opposite sides of the plate and whip cream (sugar free) down the middle.
