Watermelon Fries with Yogurt Dip
Watermelon fries with yogurt dip, the perfect summer snack! This yogurt dip is so easy, only 3 ingredients. And not crazy weird ingredients that you’ve never heard of. Sometimes I see recipes that look good and then I look at the ingredients and have never heard of them haha. I grew up in a small town in Missouri that didn’t have a ton of options for grocery stores. I like to keep my recipes simple and accessible. This dip only needs greek yogurt, lime juice, and honey. That’s it! Plus the watermelon and you’ve got a delicious, healthy snack.
A nut free, vegan queso! Most vegan queso recipes use cashews or almonds which are great options but for a queso lover like me, the cost adds up quickly. Plus I know there are nut free people who can’t have them at all! So this recipe is for you guys and the people like me who just like saving money. This recipe is also paleo and gluten free. Hope you enjoy it!
Healthy 30 Minute Strawberry Jalapeño Chicken
This healthy 30 minute strawberry jalapeño chicken is the best easy and healthy summer meal. The chicken has a cilantro lime marinade and is topped with an easy strawberry jalapeno salsa. I have been dreaming up so many strawberry jalapeño dishes lately. Why? Because Trader Joe’s come out with some new strawberry jalapeño chips and it has me obsessed with that flavor combo! I feel like that always happens to me, I discover something new at Trader Joe’s and get inspired. Trying new food always gives me a lot of inspo which is a great excuse to always try new food haha.
