Mosaic Monday is hosted by the lovely Mary. Be sure you visit to see the other mosaics.
I'm jumping the gun a bit for the 4th of July.
Maybe that's because Mr. Dragon wanted fried chicken and corn on the cob for lunch on Sunday!
Can you say *Kentucky Fried*? !!!!
He needs the calories and it's been ages since we've had either! It was a tasty treat.
Lily makes the Sugar and Cream cotton yarn. They have a nice newsletter and always include free patterns for crochet and knit goodies for various holidays.

How about a recipe for the Red, White and Blue -- featuring blue!
Blueberry Cobbler with Sugared Star Shortcakes
This is straight out of the July issue of Southern Living. Doesn't it look good?
Here's the recipe:
Makes 10 servings. Hands-on Time: 10 min. Total Time: 18 min
2 pt. fresh blueberries
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 Tbsp. lemon juice
1/8 tsp. almond extract
2 (12 0z.) cans refrigerated buttermilk biscuits
1 Tbsp. coarse sparkling sugar
Sweetened whipped cream
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Combine first 4 ingredients in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium-high heat 5 minutes or until bubbly and sugar dissolves. Remove from heat.
2. Separate biscuits, and flatten each into a 3 1/2 inch circle. Cut with a 3-inch star-shaped cutter, and place on a lightly greased baking sheet; sprinkle with sparkling sugar, pressing to adhere. Bake at 400 for 8 minutes or until lightly browned.
3. Place 1 biscuit on each serving plate. Spoon blueberry mixture over half of biscuits; top with remaining biscuits. Serve with whipped cream.
Note: Tested with Pillsbury Grands!Jr. Golden Layers Buttermilk Biscuits.
Have a wonderful week.
Joy to You!

Everything is great! Makes me realize I am seriously lacking in Fourth of July crochet.
Love the cute crochet goodies. The cobbler recipe sounds delicious. I might try it soon. Thanks for sharing.
The cobbler looks awesome! Perfect holiday treat! Love your mosaic! Those are very cute projects!
Happy 4th!
Thank you so much for that delicious recipe...we love blueberries! Your patriotic pictures are great.
Hi Snap, Your mosaic for the 4th makes me smile. Also, thanks for the easy recipe for cobbler. I think my Grands could do this recipe (and it's easy enough for Grammy, too). PS I didn't know there was a person in the World who didn't like dark chocolate!
Oh what fun the crocheted items are. I love the star shortcakes!
Well I hope you have a lovely Fourth of July. Looks like you do plan ahead!
Snap, how long have I been reading your blog now? I just this moment got that Mr. Dragon makes the two of you together SnapDragon. I feel a little embarrassed that it took me this long to realize that, but I'm glad I finally did.
Your recipe look delicious. Ethan loves blueberries, so I'll have to try that out!
Blessings to you!
I love your patriotic mosaic.
The dessert looks yummy. We had fried chicken today, too. It had been awhile.
Those crocheted items are adorable. The recipe sounds divine, too! I ahve to say though, I love your little kitten!
Oh, I love your red, white and blue! Thanks so much for sharing at MM. :)
Ms Snap, you have been very busy with the crochet items here on display! I love that ripple bag. I am going to check out the link for the patterns (hehehehe, like I have the time, blogging comes first now and crochet probably is third).
I have made a flag design afghan and I used gold coated star buttons, and I still have them.
Blutiful mosaic and party table. I love Blueberries. Thanks for stopping by. I love Texas, our son lives in Austin. Been there many times. Blessings
