Chef Darlene shares her favorite summer time treats just in time to celebrate Independence Day.
Happy 4th of July!!
Here are some of my favorite "Summertime Recipes"
Cucumber Salads are great
quick and easy throw together side dishes! So, refreshing to eat on a
hot summer day, and to help not waste any cucumbers from the garden too!
For the health benefits cucumbers provides us
with a unique combination of nutrients. These three types of
phytonutrients found in cucumbers provide us with valuable antioxidant,
anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancer benefits. Yeah!!
