America’s 250th birthday is here, and it’s time to celebrate with fun, fellowship, fireworks, and — of course — food! This year’s backyard barbecue might be the most expensive Independence Day cookout to date, but that doesn’t mean you and your own don’t deserve to eat well. Here are five homemade staples that should make the semiquincentennial menu with all of your glorious grilling (anyone else want a hot dog real bad?) this weekend.

We’re starting off strong with the iconic berry-filled flag cake. Nothing screams patriotism at a picnic more than a sugary homage to Old Glory.

The good news is that making this classic dessert is as involved as you want it to be. Pressed for time? Opt to pop a quick box cake mix in a 9×13 pan and bake. Once that cools, crack open a tub of premade cream cheese frosting or Cool Whip, slap some strawberries or raspberries and blueberries across the top in American flag fashion, and you’re done.

If you want to take your time Martha Stewart-style, use her tried and true double sheet cake recipe. More of an Ina Garten gal........
