No-Bake Cheesecake Flag Cake
This no-bake cheesecake has a light texture that's less dense than baked cheesecake. The filling stars cream cheese, rich mascarpone cheese, and fresh whipped cream, which you'll combine and spread over a homemade chocolate graham cracker crust. Make the stars and stripes with fresh strawberries and blueberries. It's so easy!
Classic American-Style Potato Salad

Choose potatoes that are all roughly the same size, if possible, so they cook in the same time.
