Sun-kissed days call for fresh and flavorful fare, and today, I'm serving up two of my absolute faves! Lettuce celebrate the start of summer with a bountiful summer salad you will eat on repeat. Then, get flirty and frisky with fresh-from-the-freezer sangria popsicles, which I like to call happiness on a stick.

Ruby, fruity and … gently boozy! This pop-tail hits the spot. It's a fun and flirty (adult-approved) way to enjoy a poolside pop. You can use any wine you have on hand — white, red or rosé — you name it. And while most sangrias have simple syrup or added sugar, this rendition is sweetened to perfection with your favorite fruit juice (any 100% variety will work). I love to add sliced red grapes, strawberries and fresh blueberries for a sweet surprise, but you can add thinly sliced peaches, blackberries and raspberries, too; just make sure you cut small enough pieces, so they easily fit in each compartment and float in the juicy mixture. Joyful tip: I recommend serving it in a glass or paper cup so guests can rest the pop between licks … and sip the drippings.
