Dear Friend,

Raise the flag (and a fork)—it's time to celebrate the U.S. of A. Get patriotic with homemade recipes from our June/July issue, including potluck perfect Homey Mac & Cheese from Alice Beardsell. It's the first thing her grandson, U.S. Navy Petty Officer 3rd Class Zachary Beardsell, goes for when he comes home on leave.

And check out Lois Morgan's Tomato Pie. She loads up slices of garden-fresh tomatoes, cheddar cheese and bacon. It tastes like a juicy-smoky BLT in a pie crust.

For dessert? Well, it doesn't get more patriotic—or luscious—than Red, White & Blue Berry Trifle from Kaia McShane of Munster, Indiana.

Enjoy the fireworks.
