{Marvelous in my Monday} #2

Happy Monday! Who doesn't love holiday weekends?? We had such a great weekend hanging out with our families, grilling out and doing July 4th festivities! Here are my iPhone pics from the weekend:

• July 4th Parade: Every year we go to the parade. There was face painting, games, rides, live music and lots of food to enjoy! 

So much fun!!! :)

•Pool fun/Grilling out: We spent the rest of the afternoon lounging in the pool, playing volleyball, grilling out and relaxing!

I wish I could say that fireworks were marvelous but we didn't actually get to watch them! I let my baby girl have a milkshake and let's just say...it wasn't nice to her! Here we are right before fireworks!

• Lazy Saturday and Pool time: We spent the morning just laying around, the kids took a long nap and then we spend the rest of the day in the pool. The perfect kind of Saturday if you ask me!

• Sunday: We didn't have quite as much fun on Sunday. I spend most of the day working and the rest of the day lounging on the couch! It was nice to get some rest! :)

Hope you guys had a marvelous weekend!! 

So tell me......

What was the best part of your weekend???

{Clean Eating Dishes for your July 4th Celebration}

Who has big plans for tomorrow??? We are doing a big cookout at my Mom's house with swimming, corn hole and baby back ribs all included! I am keeping is very simple and taking a huge watermelon chopped in slices and fresh pineapple cubes. Everyone loves to snack on fruit while the ribs are on the grill. I came up with a few different options for you to make on your July 4th celebration. These are all healthy and delicious!!

• Clean Eating Salsa Turkey Burgers: This is the perfect burger to throw on the grill! Everyone will love it!

• Clean Eating Cheddar Ranch Burgers: {From Dashing Dish} These look delicious and who doesn't like cheddar and ranch??

• Broccoli and Tomato Harvest Grain Salad: This is a great side dish. Feel free to sub the harvest grains for whole grain pasta, couscous or quinoa. Tastes great at room temp!

• Dijon and Pear Kale Salad: This is a great make-ahead salad. You could switch out the pears for apples or strawberries! YUMM!

• Watermelon Pico de Gallo: {From Pioneer Woman} This looks amazing!! Watermelon is kind of a must on July 4th!! Am I right?

• Healthy Berry Dessert Pizza: Strawberries and blueberries make this dessert pizza so patriotic! It is gorgeous and delicious!

• Hawaiian Fresh Fruit Salad:  {From Food Network} Fruit Salads are my favorite item to bring to any cookout! They are easy and everyone ends up eating them up!

So tell me...

What are you taking to your July 4th celebration???
