Hello! This day was so sweet. It started with a breakfast con Meeker and my parents. I’m always starving immediately upon waking, and my parents were still an hour away, so I had some trail mix to hold me over.

Then we headed to a place called Great Beginnings Cafe. When the weather gets warm, I always crave fresh things, so I went with the fruit medley for breakfast.

Oh so yummy. Watermelon, cantaloupe, strawberries, apples, blueberries.
There was also coffee. Always coffee.


When we got back home, we all went for a walk and then my parents headed home and Meeker and I headed to the gym. He had to work, I wanted some exercise. Before we left I had a Dr. Kracker.

These babies are big!

This held me over nicely during some running and weight lifting. Then it was home again to re-fuel.

Gaaah, I love salad. Meeker says you don’t win friends with salad…

I disagree.
In this beauty:
- Lettuce
- Broccoli slaw
- Corn (cut off the cob)
- Jicama
- Sunflower seeds
- Pepitas
- Flax seeds
- Dressing: balsamic vinegar + spicy mustard + evoo
I desserted (yeah, I made it a verb) with a hefty hunk of watermelon.

I just dug right into this puppy…so fresh and sweet! I love summerrrrrrrr.
Dinner was grilled.

Chicken kabobs, zucchini, barley

That barley was so good! I seasoned it with chicken broth and garlic powder. Mmmm, lick.
Meek had to go back to work (booo) so I’m just relaxing and watching The Bachelorette (I like Frank!). I hope you all are having relaxing evenings before this short week! Wahoo!
What is your favorite summer fruit? Mine is watermelon, without a doubt. In fact, I think I’ll go cut myself another slice right now…



I disagree, too. You DO win friends with salads! As long as they’re Hugh Jass.
I love love cantaloupe in the Summer
Frank rocks
watermelon is also VERY high on my favorite fruit list <3
love frank! quirky like ali said! and very cute!
favorite summer fruit – apricots!
I’m a raspberry, blueberry girl.. or watermelon, grapes.. those four would be my fav in the summer- come september though I love an apple!
That shot of a watermelon makes me want to head to the store and buy one today!
I love my berries, but watermelon and cantaloupes are really good too. I’m also a fan of nectarines and peaches. Oh jeez. There are just too many options
Watermelon is mine, too!
I love, love, love watermelon! I just can’t get enough of it during the summer!
hands down, peaches.
and, i can’t believe i never thought to cut the zucchini lengthwise and grill it. so doing this from now on instead of cubing and skewering the buggers!
Peaches…love peaches!!!
Watermelon and strawberries! What can I say? I’m torn!
Oooh so many summer fruits to choose from! I think I may be partial to a really ripe peach! Although I love all the berries in season and LOVE watermelon as well. I really can’t choose I guess. Also love the Dr. Kracker’s…they’re so big!
Cantelope and Pineapple have turned into my absolute favorites and I can’t quit buying them! Ps– I also love love Frank and I like Chris (the one from Cape Cod). Oh yea, and Roberto…he’s one of my faves too!
I love watermelon. It always feels like such a treat.
I was reading Fit @ Heart and I stumbled across your blog! I also have a big sweet tooth, so yours caught me attention. You make the most interesting salads, and I think I will be trying some of those combinations.
My favorite summer fruit is strawberries, and I’ll go through a whole Costco pack by myself sometimes with a little bit of Tru Whip!
What a delicious grilled meal! And I love watermelon too! Very refreshing!! We ate lots yesterday at my mom’s and thankfully she sent me home with a big tub of it!
Watermelon and peaches will have to battle it out for my top pick!
I totally agree with you on the salad thing!!! That looks like a beast of a salad….my mouth is totally watering right now! And I’m pretty sure Jicama is one of the best ingredients ever to put in a salad…i’m just sayin’
i love how summer rolls around and WATERMELON is consmed like water!!! I have it so so much! i cut the biggest one yesterday, it filled 3 HUGE zip loc bags!! I love that you ate it like that w/ a spoon!!
frank is so CUte too!! and roberto is quite easy on the eyes
You could win me over with that salad. YUM!
I CAN win friends with salad! Yay!!
YUM!!! This post just SCREAMS summer!! I think fresh watermelon is definitely one of my most favorite summer fruits. Along with peaches and strawberries!
i love eating watermelon with a spoon! i just cut mine and it was so darn messy.

Mine is blueberries or cherries. I like watermelon a lot too.
Oh my goodness, that grilled zucchini looks amazing. Lucky for me, I just got some today! That is definitely going on my list of things to make.
Mmm, I love watermelon. I can’t wait to get some now that it’s in season!
[...] by mushroom, pepper, and onion kebabs, and sliced zucchini. Got the zucchini idea from Katie! I’d always put the zucchini on the kebabs before, but I love this way [...]
