Watermelon feta salad
For some reason, people are trying to convince me that autumn has come and summer is over. I refuse to accept this (though the arrival of pumpkin spice lattes at Starbucks does make me question my resolve.) I really do love summer and am trying to hold out on accepting the arrival of cold weather for as long as possible. Though, let’s be serious, I live in California and it doesn’t get all that cold anyway. Yes, I am spoiled. Anyway this watermelon salad is a great way to use the bounty of summer watermelons. It is SUPER easy and really refreshing. I highly recommend it for an afternoon BBQ…

Mint oreo cheesecake bites
My brother’s birthday party was Saturday so I wanted to make a bite sized dessert that his friends could enjoy.

Ingredients: 5 oz (half bag) of Andes Baking chips 4 oz regular cream cheese 1 row of oreos (from the normal 3 row oreo container) Parchment/wax paper Handful of white chocolate chips (optional) Dash of milk (optional) Recipe: 1. Crumble the oreo cookies…
