Did everyone have a great 4th of July? It's the very first holiday that Olivia has experienced twice. Well, last Independence Day was a bit different for her. She was in the NICU getting her tan on (i.e. phototherapy for jaundice). This year she got to go to a BBQ with lots of baby friends... a much preferred way to celebrate.
And now that summer is officially underway, it's time to turn off the oven and bring on the no-bake desserts... like these Chocolate Covered Strawberry Mini Icebox Cakes.
And yes, you may have noticed I'm a bit obsessed lately with chocolate covered strawberry desserts. But can you blame me? It's a classic and epic flavor combination.
