| Happy Fourth of July weekend! The boys and I are currently en route to Florida for our first-ever vacation as a family of 5. Traveling with 3 littles is quite the adventure (to say the least) but I'm so excited to finally get some time away to relax. Well, as much as possible. Get ready for July's Recipe of the Month! Huge thank you to everyone who got baking with us this month. The Strawberry Shortcake Bread was a big hit and I loved seeing your creations. We'll be announcing the winner via email and social on Monday, 7/3, and dropping July's Recipe of the Month on Wednesday, 7/5. Can't WAIT to share this one with you -- head to this page on Wednesday for the big reveal.
This weekend I picked out the perfect Fourth of July menu for you to celebrate over the long weekend. Enjoy this appetizer, salad, main dish, side, and dessert with your friends and family.
Get ready for Amazon Prime Day Prime Day is coming! Tons of amazing deals will be dropping on Amazon on 7/11 and 7/12, so you know I'm getting my Amazon Shop ready with all of the goods.

My Shop Page will have a full list of deals once Prime Day drops so you can shop everything in one place.
5 recipes to cook this week Appetizer: Avocado Strawberry Mango Salsa You know I'm all about the fruit salsas this summer (and every summer). This gorgeous salsa is the perfect mix of sweet, creamy, and a little spicy and is perfect for dipping or adding to tacos and proteins. 
Salad: Damn Good BLT Pasta Salad with Creamy Jalapeño Cashew Dressing If you haven't made this insanely delicious pasta salad yet, now is the time! Crispy bacon, crunchy veggies, tender pasta, and an addicting jalapeño cashew dressing make it truly irresistible. No mayo involved! 
Main Dish: Seriously Good Sweet Potato Cheddar BBQ Chicken Burgers Abra and I originally made these burgers years ago and OMG they were so juicy and flavorful. I think we gobbled them up in seconds flat. Have guests add their fav cheese (we love sharp cheddar) and watch them devour. 
Side Dish: Best Healthy Coleslaw Ever (no mayo!) We're skipping the mayo all around this summer and making everything light, fresh & flavorful. This coleslaw is no exception! It's SO crunchy and colorful and has a lovely, tangy dressing. The BEST recipe for your BBQ. 
Dessert: Gluten Free Peach Crisp with Salted Coconut Milk Caramel My famous peach crisp is always a good idea. I mean, juicy peaches, crunchy pecan-oat topping, and salted coconut milk caramel? What more could you need? Oh, a scoop or two of ice cream (of course).
