Instructions
Pour lime juice, blackberry jam and a few ice cubes into a mason jar and SHAKE.
Add ice to a Collins glass. You could use a traditional Mule glass but I wanted to see the pretty ombre colors of the drink so I used a Collins.
Pour in blackberry mixture equally into both glasses
Top with Ginger Kombucha
Garnish with mint, blackberry and candied ginger on a cocktail pick. Optional: add a lime wedge

#LTKSeasonal #LTKHome

Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese and 1 cup shredded cheese until thoroughly combined.
Using your hands, shape the mixture into a ball, then coat in the remaining shredded cheese to cover the outside of the cheese ball.
Transfer the mixture to a large piece of plastic wrap continuing to shape into a round ball.
Wrap twine around the cheese ball four times (or use 4 large rubber bands) tightly around the wrapped cheese ball to shape into a pumpkin. Refrigerate until firm, at least 4 hours and up to overnight.
Remove the twine and plastic wrap. Press bell pepper stem into the top of the cheese ball where all the lines intersect.

It’s no secret that I love burrata; it’s delicious, creamy, and pairs perfectly with both savory and sweet flavors. This burrata crostini is on the sweeter side of things with jammy, tangy roasted strawberries.

RECIPE BELOW. PS- Did you know that real milk hydrates better than water? By simply freezing milk into cubes, you can create this hydrating sweet treat, perfect for summer. Plus, milk is full of nutrients that support a healthy immune system, making this s’mores smoothie both nutritious and indulgent at the same time (which is super important for this pregnant girlie)! For more on the benefits of real milk, visit gotmilk.com/nutrition for more information @gotmilk #GetRealMilk #GotMilk S’mores Milkshake INGREDIENTS 2% Milk 3 tbsp Chocolate Syrup 7 Graham Crackers ¼ cup Chocolate Chips 2 tsp Coconut oil 1 Marshmallow INSTRUCTIONS Fill ice cube containers with milk and freeze until solid. Roast marshmallow as desired Microwave chocolate chips and coconut oil in 10-second increments until melted. Crush two graham crackers into fine pieces in a plastic bag. Dip the rim a mason jar into melted chocolate and coconut oil mixture, and then dip into crushed graham crackers. Add 3 frozen cubes to a blender. Drizzle chocolate syrup and add 4 graham crackers. Pour in ⅓ cup of milk and blend until smooth. Pour milk “smoothie” into jar, top with 2 graham cracker halves and toasted marshmallow. Enjoy

I combined a few kid charcuterie sets to make this costume. Using the Fisher Price set on Amazon as the base, I added felt cheese items from Etsy (no longer available), but you could just use the ones from the Fisher Price set or add some more in from the Crate & Barrel or West Elm set to complete the costume. I also used velcro tape so that the items would “stick” to the felt cheese board.

“Carmy” from The Bear Kid’s Costume

The most important part of this look? The “Carmy” tattoos (our pediatrician gave us the green light to use them on our girl). I had a custom apron made on Etsy (linked), but if your kiddo is bigger, you can grab a kid-sized apron from Amazon (linked). Pair it with black jeans and a rolled-sleeve white tee, and you’ve got the perfect Carmy costume. Bonus: our Lalo kitchen made the best backdrop.

Ice Cream Bar

Instructions  
* Add the sprinkles, M&Ms, chips, walnuts, and maraschino cherries to individual small bowls. Add whipped cream and bananas to bigger small bowls.  
* Place the bowls of sprinkles and M&Ms in the center of your board. Arrange the bowls with chips in a line around an edge of the board. Evenly space the bowls with cherries, whipped cream, banana, and walnuts throughout the board.  
* Add the cones to the board in two separate stacks. Fan the Oreos around the bowl of banana slices and the chocolate chip cookies around the cherries.  
* Fill in the empty spaces with the remaining fruits and sweets making sure to separate like colors. 
* Set out bowls and ice cream of your choosing on the side. Enjoy!
