9 Easy Summer Snacks to Beat the Heat
Today I’m going to share some easy-to-make summer snacks with you. We live in Ontario, Canada. We always have a long winter here, so when summer comes, we are going crazy outside to play.
Summertime BBQs and garden parties are very common on weekends and holidays here. As my kiddo is taking her summer break now, we are having so much fun doing some cooking together.
Let’s do some easy drinks and snacks with the kids and cool off summer with these easy and delicious recipes.
Freshly Squeezed Lemonade
My kid always loves helping me in the kitchen. By starting to work on some simple tasks, she is learning the kitchen technique gradually. This simple and delicious freshly squeezed lemonade is easily prepared by a kid.
