Enjoy this round-up of watermelon from some food blogging friends.
Have you gotten your fill of watermelon yet? We haven’t! We have been enjoying this beautiful summer fruit all season. It’s amazing how versatile watermelon can be. From salads to drinks, sides to desserts, you can incorporate watermelon into every meal.

There is so much to do in Portland! If you only have 2 days, you can still squeeze in some shopping, great food and some sightseeing.
It had been a long time since I went on a girls trip, so I was happy to escape for a couple of days with my friend to Portland. I must say, I was impressed with everything we covered in just two days.

We make these cheesy chicken enchiladas with leftover rotisserie chicken. Makes an easy and tasty dinner that everyone loves.
Around here, rotisserie chicken goes a long way. We eat it for one meal but leftovers are used the next day for a different meal and then the bones are used to make stock. Nothing gets wasted. We use the leftovers in sandwiches, pasta, salads and these enchiladas.

Make perfectly cooked Instant Pot quinoa in just one minute. Fast and easy.

Those who know me know I can’t resist a good dip. It doesn’t matter how tasty the food is on it’s own, if there’s a tasty dip to go along side it, I can’t resist. Q is the same way.

It’s summer time! It’s nice to not have to deal with school and homework and lunches. With time off though, we definitely need to keep the kids busy. We decided that this year, we would try and discover more of what was around us.
We headed to the World Waterpark at West Edmonton Mall a couple weeks ago. It’s been so long since we have been at the mall, it’s always amazing how much is actually in there. We spent all day Sunday at the pool. With all that it has to offer, it’s not hard to do.
