Who says you have to leave your house to have a little fun in the sun? One of my favorite things to do is hang out with my guys right in our own backyard! A little fun in the sun with all of the comforts of home? Sign me up! I love creating a fun atmosphere with good food, fun games, and family time! Luckily for me, Kroger Marketplace was the perfect one stop shop to create the best backyard BBQ right at home!

Summer is right around the corner and it's my favorite time of year for produce! Tomatoes in particular are at their peak and can most definitely shine on their own during this time. I love creating simple dishes when ingredients are so good that they just don't need that much more added to them! When BBQ season and outdoor entertaining are in full swing, I love bringing lighter and healthier dishes to the table to balance out the rest of the spread. My new favorite dish that I will be making all summer long is my garlic and dill tomato salad with cornbread croutons!

Green Tea Cucumber Cooler: My Diary of Us

Are the weeks flying by in your life? They are for me! Honestly, how is it already May? We have been in Texas for over a month now and the time has disappeared. I feel like it's so easy to stay in our routines day by day and most of the time one day runs into the next before we have stopped to enjoy one single moment. And then weeks pass and months and then another year. I'm exhausted just thinking about it! I have a goal this weekend to press pause and enjoy the moment, and one great way to do it is to drink one of my green tea cucumber coolers!

This drink is the ultimate refresher for the hot days that we have been experiencing and has a spa like flavor, forcing you into a relaxing state! I think we could all use a little force to relax and slow down in life. You with me?
