<p class="has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Save this watermelon salsa for your next bbq or outdoor gathering. It is so refreshing and takes no time to throw together! I love creating recipes like this for the summer &#8211; light and easy and delicious on a hot day! It&#8217;s got all the best summer flavors: mint, watermelon, cucumber, lime, plus a little spice. I&#8217;m envisioning having this while relaxing by the pool with a good book and a cold drink, too. It doesn&#8217;t get much better than that IMO. Let me know if you try this fun recipe!</span></p>

<p class="has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph"><span style="font-weight: 400;">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.</span></p>

<p class="has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph"><span style="font-weight: 400;">The perfect dessert when you just want a little something extra! Also great if you live alone and don’t want to make a big batch of something. Or if you live with people who aren’t huge dessert people (I know, hard to believe people like that exist but I live with one). My husband isn’t anti dessert he just isn’t super obsessed with it like I am. So these small batch chocolate chip cookies recipe are perfect for our household of two!</span></p>

<p class="has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ooooh crispy salmon is one of my favorite meals! I get so excited any time I know salmon is on the menu for the week haha. It’s a great meal prep option because it reheats sooo well if you reheat it in the skillet. I also think it’s one of the best proteins to eat cold. If you’re on the go and can’t get to a microwave, this is a great option! Now let’s talk about the flavor of this- lemon garlic salmon just sounds so tasty doesn’t it?!</span></p>
