The 4th is almost here, so it's time to start thinking about yummy all American food. This patriotic creation is called a Watermelon Pizza. I heard about it from Monica at my yogurt shop. We decided that it would be perfect for the 4th. Here's what you'll need:
A seedless watermelon
2 cups of vanilla yogurt (Whipped cream looks better but it's not as tasty. I think I'll mix the two for the 4th!)
a carton of blue berries (Blackberries or blueberries)
A carton of red Berries (Raspberries or strawberries)
Cut a round section of the watermelon about 1 1/2 inches thick. (This is so you can get your mouth around it.) Next cover the top with vanilla yogurt. You then arrange the berries however you want. (Of course it always helps to have a two artistic daughters around.)

Meal Planning Magic
Do you ever find yourself at a loss as to what to make for dinner? If so, you're definitely not alone. Here is an idea that is super helpful in this department. What you do is type out about 14 main dishes and print them out. You then choose one of them each night.
Also you would list different vegetables and salads that you can make. One really neat thing about having all these options is that you won't get in a rut and make the same thing all the time. Your experience will be more like: "Oh yeah, I think I will make Asian Lettuce Wraps. I haven't made those in a few weeks!"
Fun Saying:
"I'm just pulling your leg". Another funny image. No one seems to have any idea where this saying came from. It really makes zero sense, but we say it all the time. The next time I use that phrase I think I will actually pull the person's leg.
