Easy Layered Red, White, Blue Jello Cups red white blue jello dessert

Layered Jello Cups

These fun red white blue layered Jello cups are great for anytime you need patriotic desserts, red, white, and blue desserts, or kids desserts.

These desserts in a cup are always a huge hit when we make them!

(It’s shocking because they’re so simple, but so cute! They’re are never any left at our parties!)

If you’re making them for another party, you change up the colors to meet your theme, cookout or party!

 

How To Make Colored Popcorn white chocolate covered popcorn in red white and blue colors in a brown paper bag

Red White Blue Popcorn

We made this as red, white, and blue Patriotic Popcorn, but you can easily change up the colors of the melted chocolate or sprinkles for any theme or colored popcorn.

Also, we made our popcorn old school like this (with oil in a popcorn maker or on the stove).

You can also use microwave popcorn, but I really think the old-school popping method adds more flavor to this patriotic popcorn recipe for that sweet and salty recipe combo that people love!

 

A Fruit Salad Recipe in a waffle ice cream cone with whipped cream on top

Patriotic Fruit Salad in a Waffle Cone

A fruit salad recipe is an easy last-minute addition to any party or for a snack and works great for an Olympic party.

For your Olympic party dessert, use only red and blue fruits, then top it with our favorite homemade whipped cream recipe. (You can even add some red, white, or blue sprinkles!)

This recipe for fruit dip cream cheese is a super simple strawberry fruit dip or for any of your favorite fruits!

Add strawberries and blueberries for red, white, and blue food ideas!

White Chocolate Cookies

Great addition for a red white blue themed party (and these dessert treats are yummy and fun for kids to make!).

RECIPE TIP: Want these dessert bites to be more festive for your party? Add some blue and red sprinkles before the chocolate hardens.

 

FRUIT WATER RECIPES fruit water infusions in mason jars sitting on table

 

Strawberry Infused Water

This infused strawberry water is the perfect summer drink for kids, party drink recipes, or just drinks for hot days outside!

Use red and blue fruits and vegetables if you want other Olympic themed flavored waters for your party for Olympics.

And, it’s a super easy dessert to make, even as a last minute recipe.

EASY REFRIED BEAN DIP text over image of tortilla chip being dipped into bean dip

The “I Don’t Like Beans And I Love This Dip” Homemade Refried Bean Dip

I have had people tell me they don’t even like refried beans, but they love this bean dip!

This is the perfect recipe because it works for winter olympic themed food or summer olympic party games food and you can whip it up in minutes.

 

Cheese dip recipe with tortilla chips with text over it

Crockpot Cheese Dip with Sausage

This crockpot cheese dip is another easy appetizer Olympics party ideas because it’s a set and forget recipe.

RECIPE TIP: The only thing you need to do is to make sure you give it a stir occasionally during the party so the bottom doesn’t burn in the slow cooker.

 

EASY ARTICHOKE DIP RECIPE text over image of artichoke dip with crackers on a plate

Artichoke Dip Recipe

This artichoke parmesan dip is our go-to for holiday recipes, party recipe, or cookout side dishes because it’s such an easy last minute recipe to whip up!

I also like this recipe because it’s different from the tired spinach and artichoke dip that everyone seems to have at parties.

Mexican Street Corn (Esquites)

This Mexican street corn off the cob is sometimes called elote salad and is a perfect party dish and easy Olympic menu addition, especially if you’re looking to add vegetarian dishes.

For parties, sometimes I serve it in a dish with tortilla chips (instead of using it as a side dip). It’s makes a great Mexican dip!

RECIPE TIP: If you want to serve it as a side dish for parties, serve it in a cup. (It’s called Mexican Corn In a Cup sometimes!) Add a spoon and a lime wedge and you have perfect grab-and-go party foods that easy to eat while walking around a party.

They are great either way!

(Just sprinkle with poppyseeds before baking if want them.)
