Welcome to Kimberley Kasper Health & Fitness
After weeks of traveling and vacation, this is the first full week I will be in the office. While we’ll be down a child (off at camp), my husband is busy at work as well and dinners to be as simple as possible. This week’s meal plan includes shrimp, a different take on taco Tuesday, my favorite farro salad, a twist on pizza, and the perfect summer Saturday dinner.
The Fourth of July has always been one of my favorite holidays. No gift pressure. No family drama. Just a day to enjoy those you love celebrating the birth of our nation. And what would the Fourth of July be without an incredible meal? Today I’m sharing what we’ll be enjoying at our house this year.
I cannot believe that June is already over and we’re heading into the Fourth of July holiday. Who else feels like June flew by? This week the recipes include both old and new. My kids are creatures of comfort and, truth be told, they’d prefer to have to the same food every week if I’d let them. I am sure some of you mom’s can relate. So this week I’ve included some of their favorites as well as some new recipe’s we’ll be trying this week. All recipes leverage the amazing fruits and vegetables of the season and are quick and easy.
After a long, cold winter and spring, I eagerly anticipated the start of summer — long days, warm temperatures, and the best fruit and vegetables of the year. That’s why this week’s meal plan is loaded with summer fruits and veggies, and dinners that can be grilled or made inside (whatever works best for you).
I know all of the mom’s out there can relate when I say that the end of the school year is crazy. Between finals and field days, pool parties, and the rush to the last day, I find us running the final weeks of school. And this year is even busier with my youngest set to wrap up his middle school experience this week. My parents are in town this week and we have luncheons, award ceremonies, parties, and graduation itself so dinners need to be quick, easy, tasty, and fit for company.
If you know or have followed me for long, you know I have a serious sweet tooth. And indulging in it all too often does cause me to lose focus and takes me off the rails a bit. So instead of making dessert taboo, I’ve focused that effort on finding sweet treats that are both nutritious and delicious. Here are some of my favorite easy-to-make desserts that everyone will love.
