Are you looking for a little extra magic this summer? Well, you have come to the right place! One of our family’s summer bucket list items was cooking in the kitchen more. I am so excited to share that I am collaborating with Dole Food Company again for their newest initiative “A Recipe for Courage and Kindness”, which includes 20 new magical recipes centered around wellness, sustainability, and Disney’s Ultimate Princess Celebration. 

 

 

You know my passion for Disney Princesses runs deep, so you can only imagine my enthusiasm to make new recipes inspired by 12 of my favorite heroines! Plus, since the initiative stems from healthy-eating habits and eating more fruits and vegetables, as well as teaching others to be kind and courageous, it’s an initiative worth celebrating all summer long! Plus, you know how therapeutic cooking is for me and how much I love bonding with my children in the kitchen. So, we can’t wait to get cooking!

 

That being said, stay tuned for a behind-the-scenes look at a virtual cooking class and tea party where I’ll be making 3 of these recipes at home, as well as hosting a magical giveaway later on in the summer!
