Quick. It's not too late to pull together a fast red-white-and-blue treat for the 4th of July! Of course not, it's a 'long' weekend, there's today and there's still tomorrow, too. So here are a few quick ideas from favorite food blogs.

17 and Baking ~ A Little Taste of Independence
This one would take a little time, but if you've got a white cake mix, food coloring and cream cheese, you're nearly there. It's a fabulous cake with dramatic stripes of red, white and blue. VERY cool.

Phe.mom.enon ~ Red, White & Blue Tie Dye Cookies
Again, fabulous. Holly shares a sugar cookie recipe but if you're short on time, buy a roll of sugar cookies or even a package of sugar cookies, then concentrate on the tie-dying. T-shirts, anyone?

5 Dollar Dinners ~ July 4th Smoothie
This one's a snap, just strawberries and blueberries in a smoothie. Very pretty!

Yum Sugar ~ Patriotic Cupcakes
Looking for a short cut? Use a white cake mix, throw in some blueberries, make some icing and top with a raspberry. Don't forget the flags!

And you?
And you, what's your favorite red, white and blue treat? Leave a recipe or a link to a recipe in the comments!

For the Fourth of July, BlogHer food editor Alanna Kellogg recommends Two-Bite Brownies on skewers in a watermelon, very festive!
