Berry Iced Water

I am always looking for refreshing drinks in the summer time. I try to stay extremely hydrated, so any spin on water to keep it from getting old is a plus in my world. Freezing berries in your ice cubes does just the trick. It enhances your water with a slight flavor, gives it a little antioxidant boost, and looks pretty to boot. Perfect for a hot summer day! Looks great for a 4th of July picnic as well. And the fact that it's so easy makes this a winner in my book.

Southwest Couscous Salad

With summer in full swing, I find myself eating less soup and getting more into my salads. This is an easy salad to throw together, tastes just as good the second day as it did the first, and is great for quick and healthy lunch.

Banana Pops

I love ice cream. It’s one of my favorite foods, and if I could eat it every day without my backside spreading to create its own solar system I would. Unfortunately ice cream is reserved for those treat days that we set aside for ourselves every couple of weeks. BUT, I do make a treat in the summer time that is the next best thing to a big bowl of creamy deliciousness. It’s frozen, yummy, and feels like you are cheating by eating an ice cream bar. The best part? It’s good for you.
