My Grandma's Cabin {Fairview, Utah}

There's something magical about this log cabin. The way the cabin is decorated, the natural light that floods every floor, the incredible view of the lake, playing horseshoes and having bonfires, board games, Grandma's famous hot chocolate, good food, and my best friends on earth- my family.

(some beautiful wildflowers that were picked to clear the way for the horseshoe pit, and abandoned muddy shorts drying on the railing)

Salads, Smoothies, and Sandwiches {Our favorites}

Salads, smoothies, and sandwiches... essentially what we've been living on this summer. My daughter loves them, my husband loves them, and they make us feel happy. I'll try to post more as we come up with new flavor combinations, but I'd love to hear of any suggestions you have for favorite recipes in any of these three categories.

Favorites have been (that we have taken pictures of):

strawberry, mango, pineapple, banana with honey greek yogurt, orange juice, and a few ice cubes (Mommy-sized and toddler-sized)

Watermelon-Strawberry slushies (my favorite treat by far this entire summer), find the recipe HERE

buttered, toasted whole wheat artisan bread (from Costco- can you tell we like Costco?), and bacon, turkey, ham with mayo and a bit of deli mustard.

artisan mix lettuce (from Costco) grilled chicken, bacon, tomatoes, cheese cubes, croutons , and ranch dressing (and the toddler "on the side" version)

artisan mix lettuce, cous cous, peaches, sliced almonds, Brianna's Homestyle Poppy Seed Dressing

Any recommendations? I'd love to hear what your favorites are...
