Happy 1st day of summer, friends! This dreamy, creamy salad is an old fashioned recipe with a creamsicle twist.

Serve it as a dessert or even a side dish at barbecues and picnics this summer.

Ava loves to be my taste tester for all things sweet and this recipe got two thumbs up!

I start with a 6oz box of orange Jell-O. Add the entire package of powdered Jell-O to a large bowl.

Mix in a tub of vanilla Greek yogurt and stir well.

Now add in a semi frozen tub of Cool Whip (it works best when it isn’t fully thawed!).

Now mix it all up until smooth!

My helpers love making easy desserts with me!

This is a great recipe to make and eat with your kiddos.

Now mix in the drained oranges, saving 1/4 cup for topping.

Finally, gently fold in 2 cups of marshmallows.

Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours up to overnight.

To serve: scoop chilled salad into small bowls or cups.

Add remaining 1/2 cup marshmallows and 1/4 cup oranges on top as a colorful garnish!

🍜 We had so much fun celebrating Lunar New Year last weekend with dinner at @pho_85_noodle_house_llc in Bentonville, AR! The Banh Mi sandwich and Beef and Seafood Pho soups were filled with fresh ingredients and flavor packed. As you can see their portions were huge so it's a great place to share! We also tried an appetizer sampler, Thai Tea, Coconut Boba Smoothie (my girls' favorite) and macarons for dessert. Everything was made to order and delicious. The staff was kind and helpful. If you live near by, check them out and #eatlocall ! ❤️ @visitbentonville #Bentonville  #pho85noodlehouse #arkansasfoodie #whatsfordinner #arkansasblogger #supportlocal #bentonvillearkansas #lunarnewyear #chinesenewyear

🌟I had to step out of my comfort zone today and attend my first networking event since moving to Arkansas. I already  struggle with meeting new people and being social since I work from home but now I live in a new city and know no one. Thank goodness I found @winnwa . The networking lunch today at @bonefishgrill was exciting, encouraging, and of course, fun! Over 80 local business women attended and everyone had a chance to introduce themselves and share what they do. I look forward to more  #womeninnetworking events in the future. Hoping to make some new friends too!
