A pan full of red white and blue berry crumb bars

Hey guys! Hope you all are having a great start to summer! We’ve been busy planning a Disney trip and getting ready to have a garage sale. Now that we’re settled for a good long while, I’m so excited to finally get rid of our basement full of things we randomly hang on to “just in case we might need it at the next house.” Military fams, I know you feel me!

Another thing that started this summer off right was testing these super delish (not to mention patriotic!) berry jam crumb bars. I love everything about these bars. They’re fruity, buttery, cute as hell, and before the last one is even eaten, my kids are asking when we’ll be making another batch, which is a pretty big win in my book.

I also love that they’re one of those treats that you could also slide into breakfast because oats, right??

This easy Raspberry Vinaigrette recipe is perfect for summer! It’s quick, fresh, and crazy-delicious, plus its 21 Day Fix and Weight Watchers friendly!

Happy summer, party people! And really, what tastes more summery than a fresh salad with a bright, berry-forward raspberry vinaigrette? Ok, maybe a pineapple margarita, but still, this vinaigrette is for sure pretty high on that list.

Somehow my kiddos have just two days left on the school calendar before I’ve got a sophomore and a 6th grader on my hands <- shit is wild, you guys.

Anyway, I’m always looking for legit salad ideas for summertime (read: not boring salad ideas – do not come at me with a chicken, ranch and grape tomato salad, I just won’t stand for it) and I’ve always loved a salad with some kind of protein (it’s great with chicken, shrimp, salmon, etc), greens, blue cheese, candied walnuts and a great raspberry vinaigrette. Gimme that big flavor, baby. ⇓⇓⇓
