Invited to a July 4th celebration? Instead of bringing wine or beer, how about treating your host to gourmet condiments?
With all due respect to Heinz, French’s and Hellman’s, there are finer flavors to be had. Head to your nearest specialty food store or upscale supermarket and check out the options.
Since its debut five years ago, we’ve been enjoying the Sir Kensington’s brand—not a British import but a hip American creation.
Sir Kensington’s Ketchup, in Classic and Spiced, have 33% less salt and 50% less sugar than conventional brands.
Sir Kensington’s Mayonnaise is made from free range eggs, and is 33% lower in saturated fat than conventional brands. There’s Classic with lemon notes; Chipotle with cumin, garlic and tomato flavors; Dijonnaise, blending the Classic with Dijon mustard; Special Sauce, a riff on French remoulade with touches of paprika, mustard, and pickle relish; and Sriracha with the latest rage in heat.
Sir Kensington’s Mustard delivers more layers of flavor in Dijon, Spicy and Yellow.

LidLover was created by a woman who wanted a lid that could fit with a tight seal around her kitchenware: bakeware, containers, cookware and dishes.
While LidLovers can (and should) be used year-round, now that it’s summer we especially like them to keep the bugs out of patio and picnic food.
The lids are easily storable and strong enough for the containers to be stacked. They can be easily stretched to fit over bowls with any type of rim.
Even better: You save money and the environment when you use LidLover instead of temporary, landfill-bound covers such as plastic wraps and foils.
The 12″ LidLover, with grooves fitting from 9″ to 12″, fits most large serving bowls and dishes. It’s $16.95.

LidLover is top rack dishwasher safe, may be used as a cover in the microwave and can be used in both the freezer (down to -40°F) and the oven (up to 400°F). All LidLover lids are made of BPA-free food grade silicone.
Check out the different varieties of LidLover on the company website.
If you’re invited to a picnic or a barbecue, bring one to the host!

Who wouldn’t want to be Amy Miller’s friend?
The designer, crafter and baker created the best-looking July 4th ice cream cones.
Head to AmyMillerDesigns.com for the step-by-step showing how she did it.
In brief, you need ice cream cones, vanilla candy melts in red, white and blue, and sprinkles. You can use either cake cones (shown in photo), sugar cones or their big brother, waffle cones.
The toughest part is deciding what flavor of ice cream to scoop into your cones. Vanilla works best, but keep an eye out for cherry vanilla, strawberry or blueberry swirl.
How much do you know about the different types of ice cream and frozen desserts?
Check ‘em out in our Ice Cream Glossary.
