This is one of my favorite summer salads and this is the perfect time to make it. Why? Because the veg for this salad is fresh and in season. I hope you will wander down to your local farmers market this weekend, pick up cucumber, heirloom tomatoes, red onion, a colored pepper, cilantro, organic corn on the cob and give it a try. It boasts a lot of flavor and if you can find yourself some fresh local garlic...even better. Fresh garlic, to me, makes all the difference.

These little power protein balls are loaded with nutrition and they will satisfy your sweet tooth. The protein comes from grass-fed collagen which is filled with easy-to-digest amino acids, or protein building blocks. It offers lots of benefits like supporting connective tissue including your skin. Can you say yes to fewer wrinkles? Yes, please!
here's the menu for my summer vacation
The bags are (almost) packed, and the grocery list is nearly complete as we head out of town for our annual summer vacation up north. My husband and I look forward to this low-key time together every year. We'll tap out of nearly all electronic devices – the computers stay home and the phones go on airplane mode - and we'll bring food for every meal so we don't have to drive anywhere. All this to soak in family time, sun, water, nature and down time.
