CORN, AVOCADO, AND TOMATO SALAD




Corn, Avocado, and Tomato Salad is a fresh and light side dish perfect for summer BBQs and potlucks. Grill the corn for a little extra something special. It’s a fresh and light side dish that screams summer!

We try to teach our kids the value of money. They earn an allowance by doing chores throughout the week.

Today, I looked out the kitchen window to see my son spraying sunblock in the air like tropical air freshener.

All I saw was a mist of dollar bills – that stuff is liquid gold. Lesson fail.

Speking of wasting money, I’m pretty sure the ice cream truck guy is stalking us.

I swear he pulls his van up to our house and turns up his carnival music. It puts me in an awkward position.

I look like the grumpy mom if I deny my kids, who are jumping up and down in front of the truck, ice cream in this blasted heat.

Even though my kids use their own money they’ve earned, the prices are ridiculously high.

I give in every once in a while…immediately followed by a lecture about how you can buy a whole carton of ice cream for the same price that the ice cream truck charges for one.

We have a freezer full of said ice cream but the allure of a colorfully painted truck driven by a creepy guy is for some reason much more appealing to them.

RubySnap Judy Orange Cream Cookies

There’s a little hidden gem in a small shop right outside of downtown Salt Lake City, Utah that sells unique cookies that keeps me coming back for more. It’s called RubySnap and they have quite the following. We have a tradition of traveling to Park City every October to watch a football game and see actual leaves change colors. It’s a rite of passage to visit RubySnap to get our cookie fix when we are in town. Last time we were there, I brought all of my brothers along with me. We are all crazy foodies! We sampled almost every single flavor and went home with two large boxes of cookies. My Dad was shaking his head at our antics. I told him that he raised us to love good food! After partaking way too many cookies, we voted on our favorites and since then, I am have been busy in the kitchen trying to replicate their famous cookies. This copycat recipe took some trial and error in the kitchen and I think we finally nailed it! This RubySnap Judy Orange Cream Cookie starts with a citrus or
