Summer VIBES are in full swing around here, and I’m all about finding simple ways to make life easier, meals tastier, and memories sweeter.
Whether you’re heading to the pool, planning a staycation, or simply trying to keep everyone fed between activities, I’ve got a few summer favorites to share this week!
Because as always…
Good food is meant to be shared. 💛
🧄 Favorite TS Product This Week:
Key Lime Cheeseball Mix 🍋
One of my all-time summer favorites is BACK!
The Key Lime Cheeseball Mix is bright, refreshing, and tastes like summer in every bite.

I love serving it:
☀️ as a dessert dip with graham crackers or teddy grahams
☀️ with fresh fruit
☀️ <MY FAV WAY> – A NO-BAKE Key Lime Cheesecake! Want the recipe? Comment RECIPE below!
It’s one of those recipes that feels special but takes almost no effort—which is exactly the kind of summer cooking I’m here for.
🍽️ Summer Hack of the Week:
Create a “Snasket” 🧺
Have you heard of a Snasket?
It’s simply a snack basket filled with grab-and-go options for busy summer days.
Mine usually includes:
✔️ granola bars
✔️ crackers
✔️ fruit snacks
✔️ trail mix
✔️ water flavor packets
When kids are running in and out, heading to sports, or asking for snacks every 12 minutes 😆, having a Snasket ready saves both time and sanity.
And if you’d like ALL of my favorite summer shortcuts, meal ideas, and busy-mom hacks…I made a less than 10 min video for you to check out.

💬 Fun Moment from Cathy’s Kitchen
This week was one of my favorite weeks of the school year…
🍩 DONUT WEEK! 🍩
As an SLP, I love finding creative ways to make learning fun, and my students had an absolute blast celebrating.
One of our favorite activities was making mini donuts using the Almond Pound Cake Mix in my mini donut maker.
The students got to:
✨ decorate their donuts
✨ practice following directions
✨ work on communication skills
✨ and enjoy a delicious Snacktivity afterward
The smiles, sprinkles, and creativity made for a pretty sweet week.
Sometimes the best memories are made with simple ingredients and a little imagination. 💛
