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.

Small Batch Chocolate Chip Cookies (paleo, gluten free)

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!

Lemon Garlic Salmon

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?!

Vegan Queso (Nut Free!)

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.
