Tami one of the things my kids love to do for Canada Day is make Red bread and for the 4th of July is make blue bread......it is easy for them to do...just with a bread machine add some food coloring to the water my kids can help by pouring all the ingredients in........makes for a fun treat ....

Did you use the recipe from the Lemon Bar Flags that Tami posted? I have been meaning to try that recipe for a long time

Also, will you be decorating them as flags for the contest? Make sure you take pictures and post them here!

Yes! I would love to see pics of them!!

I'm glad to hear that your family liked them. I haven't made them yet but now I think that I will!

Best of luck in your contest!!

Tami
