Whenever we have guests over for a cookout, they always ask me for my ketchup recipe. Here it is—5 ingredients, 5 minutes, and no fuss is all it takes.

A delicious salad using seasonal summer produce.

This is a perfect drink to both replenish the body after an afternoon in the sun, and to help heal digestion, which is so very important to our overall well-being. The best part? It tastes GREAT!

In my last post, I forgot to mention one really awesome breakfast and snack option: a shake. This is also fabulous for kids, especially if you--or they--have a hard time consuming some of the nutritious stuff on it's own--hide it in a fruit-and-creamy concoction, and it's kind of like that song from Mary Poppins: "A spoonful of sugar makes the medicine go down..."

Salads go from mediocre to munch-tastic when you keep the basic parts of an amazing salad in mind! (And make your own dressing.)
