Just for July 4 Party People

We just bought coordinating patriotic-themed tablecloths for our dining room table, kitchen nook and outdoor under-the-canopy table, to celebrate the Fourth of July. We also got some easy-wash placemats (thank you, Ross on the corner of Sunset Blvd. and La Brea). At any rate, we’re all ready to be festive – decorating wise, that is.

Now here are some recipes from our friends at Kahlua – which we love with some cream when we’re feeling decadent.
