How is this possible, you might ask, well luck you I am going to share the recipe with you right here so you can see for yourself! First thing you need to do is head to the farm for some fresh picked berries. The kids and I took a trip down to Portland, OR to visit my sister and while we were there we hit up one of the ...

Raspberry, Walnut & Feta Salad – with dressing recipe!
Peach Iced Tea
So maybe you remember a couple of weeks ago when I made this amazing blueberry lemonade. No, well go read it next. This recipe is right along those same lines. Easy. Like a baby kitten could make it, easy. Start by adding a couple cups of frozen peaches (or whatever fruit YOU like) then add your favorite iced tea on top. The frozen peaches will act like ice cubes, keeping your tea cold, and they won't water it down when they defrost. They'll just make it better! It's just that easy. Now go make ... Read the Post
Blueberry Lemonade
Hi, my name is Ashley and I like easy recipes. The one I'm sharing today is no exception and it combines two of my favorite summer things: lemonade and blueberries. I love this time of year when iced drinks are all the rage and most of the dining happens outdoors. There is something about firing up the grill and relaxing on the patio while making dinner. It almost doesn't feel like work. I decided to up our beverage game from the boring apple juice, milk or water routine so this blueberry ... Read the Post
S’ mores Summer Snack Bites
It's been a while since I shared a recipe for these amazing snack balls and now that it is summer I thought it only appropriate to create a special s'mores version.

These are a great addition to any barbecue potluck you are attending, a family camping trip or even just a fun and tasty treat for these warm summer nights. These only have three ingredients (just like a real s'more) and they come ... Read the Post
Creating a Summer Family Fun Board – Kids Craft
School will be out in 2 weeks,WOW this year has flown by. However, I am probably just as excited as the kids are that Summer is here. Now that my kids are school aged I miss the times of care free play with no bed time, no sports/dance schedules, no homework. I just get to spend a lot of time with the kids, who are growing so quickly and now 10 and 7. The kids and I have been thinking of ideas to write our Season's Family Fun Board. I started this last year with the kids and we change it with ... Read the Post

Easy Summer Cobb Salad
We got our first delivery from our CSA share (Community Supported Agriculture) last week and I was so excited! Fresh, local and organic produce delivered every week on the same day it is picked is divine. Figuring out a way to utilize all those yummy veggies was a little bit of a challenge (early summer veggies are not my go to veggies) but I figured what better way than to make a delicious and hearty salad. I think that somewhere along the way salads got a bad rap. They bring to mind watery ... Read the Post
