Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh September, you’re so beautiful!
It’s hard to believe the summer is over. {Happy Labor Day, by the way….}
It’s time to get outside and enjoy a BBQ or picnic today with my healthy salad recipes and soak up the last of that vitamin D before fall sets in.
I hope everyone had a lovely summer. Now it’s time to get the kids back to school and start to get ready for the fall season.
But, hey…not so fast!
We’ve still got today to celebrate summer and a few more days of warm weather to eat summer foods.
So, to celebrate the never-ending summer I’ve whipped up a little blueberry bowl of goodness that you’re gunna love.
I’ve added fresh asparagus and baby spinach-two fun summer veggies along with hard boiled organic eggs for a boost of protein and a apple cider honey dressing that will blow your mind.
Don’t give up on summer yet because we’ve gotta lot of flavor in this bowl of fun.
Toss in these simple ingredients and bring this along to your Labor Day festivities today. A few people will beg you for the recipe- you can totally say that you made it…why not? Take the credit and have some fun.
Enjoy a lemonade for me!
