Summer is my favorite season! It’s all about fun in the sun, making new memories, maybe even traveling with friends and family. What else do I love about summer? All the fun cookouts and picnics!! I found two of my favorite quick treats to make and you don’t have to go anywhere near a stove.  Oh, did I mention they take less than 10 mins to make?! Woo hoo! You’re taste buds are about to party. Below you will find the recipes for Melon Caprese Skewers  & Shrimp and Corn Tostadas! Both of these appetizers were found in my June magazine of Women’s Health!
