Red, White, and Blue Recipes (USA)

Independence Day (USA) is fast approaching so let's exchange recipes for this occasion—as well as any other patriotic celebration.

You will have 2 partners, to whom you will send one tried-and-true recipe for a dish that is red, white, and blue.

"Tried-and-true" means that you have prepared the recipe at least once and that it worked. It can be any kind of dish: main, side, dessert, appetizer, snack, soup, etc.

Your recipe does not necessarily have to be for something that is always red, white, and blue, but it must be something that can successfully be made in those colors. (For example, iced cupcakes could be frosted in different colors according to the occasion, or a salad could include differently-colored elements according to the exact ingredients used; your recipe/instructions for this swap should reflect our flag colors.)

Send your recipe by snail mail in whatever format you prefer (sender's choice): on a recipe card, a computer print-out, handwritten on notebook paper, photocopied from a book or magazine, etc. Make sure that it is legible and that instructions are complete. Include the source (author) if you know it. Please make sure your swap name is on the recipe itself, in case the person who receives it has questions or comments about it in the weeks or months ahead.

If you send more than one recipe (which is optional, if you have more to share), they do not all have to be tried-and-true, but please do make clear which recipe(s) is/are the tried-and-true one.

What if you don't don't have a red, white, and blue recipe? Well, search for one, try it, and voilá! Provided the recipe works, you suddenly have something to send for this swap.

Sign up by June 15th, then mail out by June 24th at the latest so that your recipients will receive well before Independence Day. Minimum of 4.8 rating, no recent 1s or 3s, must have at least five Type 2 swaps under your belt. If your rating history or swap volume is slightly lower than that, pm me and we can talk. I reserve the right to ban anyone for any reason and will angel, if necessary.
