Happy fourth everyone!! Tomorrow is #4thofJuly and people across America are celebrating with BBQs and buying things on sale We love BBQs and shopping but decided to change things up and make something different, but still yum and still in the spirit of this American Holiday:) Nachos.Nachos.Nachos I don’t know about you but it takes me forever to decide on things- especially at restaurants.

Grilled Peaches with Oat Topping
Summer is officially here! I know because I’m writing this directly in front of the AC with a large glass of iced tea (with lots of ice!). I also know because of the amazing variety of summer fruits that are now in season! Cherries, strawberries, peaches, plums, watermelon…. The list goes on. Let’s talk fruits on the grill. Grilling summer fruits brings out the sweetness of the fruit with an addictive smoky undertone. You can also do this indoors on a grill pan with similar results.

Homemade Limonana
“When life gives you lemons, grab some mint and make Limonana!” Limonana is a delicious refreshing drink that showcases Mint as its main star. Limonana is a Middle Eastern drink that is just filled with tasty simple ingredients such as lemon, honey and of course like we mentioned mint. It pretty much is summer in a cup, and what better way to end summer than bottling it all up and enjoying it with a few friends! Did I also mention its super quick and easy to put together? And it’ll be all ready before you can even finish saying Limonana Cheers to that! XO -D

Blueberry OPOPsicles
I never met anyone who didn’t like blueberries…ok I have….I just never understood them:) This summer my friends and I went Berry Picking out in Long Island, and just the drive alone out there screamed summer. The beautiful warm weather, driving along these big open roads, and the fields of berries that were awaiting us were such #goodvibes. At first it was a bit tricky to find berries ripe enough, but we finally got the hang of it and picked out a nice amount to fill up a few containers! When I got home I was thinking what can I do with these berries…what magic transformation can I give them?…
