    Can never go wrong with fruit ....particularly melons. Honey dew, watermelon, cantaloupe are all in season. So are blueberries, strawberries, kiwis, mangos, pineapples, grapes. Mix it all up into a nice big fruit salad.

    This Friday? The 4th of July? For real?

    I'd either do a red white and blue fruit bowl with strawberries, blueberries, and banana slices or get some big juicy strawberries, dip them 2/3 of the way in almond bark, then dust the bottom third with blue sprinkles and have red white and blue strawberries. But those cucumber cups sound like the bomb!

    Looks like she's not in the USA.

    I like most of the ideas. Popsicles and Jell-O poke cake are my least favorites -- if someone brought that I'd be like eww -- but hey, that would be great for some people who wanna avoid these really yummy sounding things eh?! haha

    I like making bite size muffins or cupcakes for office food (my work has a potluck at least once a month)

    ^^^ This recipe is my favorite, it's high in fiber and healthly. You can also subsitute the brown sugar for agave or honey if you want. If you have a juicer, I would suggest throwing the apples and carrots into the juicer instead of shredding it all by hand.

    Individual small portions(1/2 cup portions) of frozen yogurt or sorbet with some toppings(sprinkles,dark chocolate chips,gummy bears,etc) from a local frozen shop. Low calorie & delicious!

    This is my daughter Karina's favorite dip, which she has nicknamed "the stuff". It's easy to prepare and everyone always wants the recipe when they try it. Serve it at your next party with your favorite baked tortilla chips and play around with the toppings – try jalapeños, scallions or avocados.
