When it comes to snacks and dessert in the summer, simple is best.

When Produce for Kids reached out about partnering again this year for their healthy eating campaign with Publix to support local Feeding America food banks, I was totally on board because ya know I’m all about that fruit and veg. Remember this Balsamic Beef & Fruit Kabob recipe I created last year for the cause?
