Healthy and Yummy tastes of Summer!!

Makayla and I went to the store to grab everything we need to make some yummy and healthy summer favorites today!!! Homemade salsa, fresh homemade cucumber salad, green beans for baked green bean fries, and turkey bacon, romaine lettuce, and tomato's for BLT's!!! I am trying to teach her more about fruits and veggies and doing my best to get her to eat more of them. I thought having her shop for them with me and touch and smell them she may be more willing to try things. She is more curious but no luck today in trying new things.
 Nothing makes me happier than cooking for my family and doing things around the house and with my little girl!!! I really want an apron though!! I don't have one. I just think it would be awesome to have one. Is that weird? This evening I was making the mango salsa, Makayla was playing with play-doh at the kitchen table, and Jason was down wiring the basement (manly work). I was sipping on some light margaritas Makayla and I were laughing and talking and I thought......all that is missing is an apron. Then I thought.....an apron for me and an apron for Makayla! So my new project is to make us both aprons like I did for our traditional Christmas cookie baking (see pic below). Maybe if she starts helping me prepare more fruits and veggies she will eat more. Can't blame a mom for trying. OMG!!! And a chef's hat for her too!!! LOL!!! More pics to for sure follow on that one!!!
