We are just finishing up our first full week of summer break and it has been so much fun!! The weather has been perfect for going to the pool and soaken up the sun. I treasure these days with the kids because the summer seems to fly by.

During the summer, our refrigerator always seems to be stocked with what seems like the whole grocery store produce section of fruit. The kids can’t get enough of it, I think they must eat their weight in fruit each day. They adore strawberries, grapes, cantaloupe, ok, really whatever fruit I put in front of them. For a special treat this week I made them orange fruit dip. It tastes almost like a lemon bar with a hint of orange. We usually eat our fruit SANS dip but summer is supposed to be fun and dips are fun darn it.

This recipe is so tasty, the kids fight about who can lick the bowl clean but usually I am the one who wins. There is no cream cheese so it feels light even though it does have a tiny bit of sugar 🙂 The consistency is a little thinner than a lemon curd. Any fruit would be great with this dip or even a shortbread cookie, because sometimes we just need a cookie.
