If you enjoyed your fourth of July, but aren’t quite sure what to do with all your leftovers, this is the post for you…

1.  Watermelon Cake.  If you have lots of fresh watermelon leftover, cube it up, remove the seeds and mix it up with some white cake mix and other ingredients for this scrumptious summer dessert.  Just watch out!  It will become a favorite.  Click here for the recipe.

2.  Bread Pudding.  If you have a lot of leftover hamburger and/or hotdog buns, cube them up and use them in place of the bread in your favorite bread pudding recipe.  For a delicious recipe option that uses only ingredients you most likely already have on hand, click here.

3.  Hamburgers.  If you fear you’ll be eating hamburgers for the next week or so, crumble up your leftover patties and use them in place of ground beef in your favorite chili recipe.  Then you can freeze the chili in gallon freezer bags and pull them out when you need a quick and tasty meal!  For a simple and delicious chili recipe, click here.

4.  Coleslaw.  Take your leftover coleslaw and turn it into a star ingredient in your next meal with recipes like Easy Moo Shu Veggie Wraps, Asian Style Lettuce Wraps, or Chicken BBQ Sandwiches.

5.  Cupcakes.  Patriotic cupcakes are all super popular, so if you find that you miraculously have some leftover, use them in place of pound cake in any trifle recipe, like this delicious blueberry trifle option.

Yesterday I highlighted a few great ideas for celebrating July 4th in Sussex County.  Here are a few more:

Bethany in Bloom:  The festivities begin in Bethany Beach at noon on the 4th with the theme “Wish You Were Here for Bethany in Bloom.”  The parade steps off at the intersection of Pennsylvania and Garfield at noon.  There will also a be a horseshoe throwing contest and live band with fireworks commencing at dusk.

Tradition at Rehoboth:  More than 100,000 people gathered on the boardwalk in Rehoboth and this year is shaping up to be just as great!  Head to downtown Rehoboth for the fireworks show at dusk.  Local favorite, The Funsters will be performing on the bandstand as well.

Fun in Ocean City:  If you want to head out of Sussex, Ocean City for a free concert at 8pm followed by fireworks at 9:30pm downtown on the beach at North Division Street or uptown at 125th Street and Northside Park.  For more information call 800-626-2326.

Whatever you choose to do this fourth of July, be safe and have fun!

Unbelievably, it’s already July!  With the celebration of Independence Day later this week I thought I would spend some time highlighting a few of the best options for celebrating July 4th in Sussex County.  Here are a couple of fun options for the family:

Old Fashioned 4th of July in Lewes:  On the Fourth of July enjoy old fashioned children’s games and activities begin at 9am on 2nd Street.  The decorated boat parade on the canal begins at 2pm and the “Infamous Doo-Dah Parade” begins around 5pm across from BeeBe Medical Center just off of Savannah Road – jump right in and join the fun!  Lewes’ Old Fashioned 4th of July is sponsored by the City of Lewes, the Lewes Chamber of Commerce and the Lightship Overfalls.

Small Town Charm in Laurel:  Celebrate Independence Day on Saturday, July 6th with small-town charm in Laurel.  Events begin at 11am with the annual parade.  Other highlights include old fashioned family games at noon, a hot dog eating contest at 1:30pm, and fireworks over the lake at 9:15pm.  There will be events, food, and vendors all day long.

Celebrate Cruise Style: Make reservations on the Cape May-Lewes Ferry for the spectacular fireworks cruise on the Delaware Bay on Wednesday, July 3rd.  The cruise departs Lewes at 7:15pm.  Make reservations online or call 800-643-3779.
