Happy July everyone! Summer sure is flying by with our entrance into July, but with the beginning of this month comes the excitement of the Fourth. I can already smell the bbq’s and delicious fresh fruit. As I am sure most of you will be attending Fourth of July parties or just keeping it small with the family in the backyard I wanted to share with you an easy and of course healthy dessert recipe to share with family and friends for this holiday! It is Red, White, and Blue Fruit Skewers with Cheesecake Yogurt dip.
