The heat has finally rolled into Wisconsin and I could not be more excited to get outside and do all of the things that I love to do in the summer. Since summer is always so short around these parts, I like to make a list of the things I want to do and see over the course of the summer and check it off as I accomplish them! I guess you can call this list my ‘Summer Craving’ list, and this is how I satisfy my summer cravings:
- Head to the local beach – I only dip my toes in the water but there’s just something about the sand and the water that makes me really feel like it’s summer. And of course, I like to pack snacks and plenty of water to keep my stomach satisfied! My favorite snack to take to the beach is Stonyfield 100% Grassfed yogurt, in strawberry of course! It’s a light, sweet treat that satisfies my sweet tooth. I pack it in a cooler, of course.
- Shop the local farmer’s markets – I LOVE when local produce is in season! There’s just something about walking around all of those fresh fruits, vegetables and flowers that inspires me to cook fresher in my kitchen.
- Read a book in my backyard – I like the idea of throwing on a comfortable t-shirt and shorts, and just lounging in my backyard with a book. In fact, I love my new t-shirt from PrAna because it’s lightweight and made from organic cotton. The colors are fun and summery and the shirt breathes easy with the warm summer temperatures.
- Picnic in the park – It really can be fun to pack up a lunch and go to a beautiful park or the beach. Bring your friend, your loved one or your kids and just enjoy nature with a sandwich and some tasty veggies. It’s a fun way to enjoy time together, take in nature and enjoy a tasty lunch.
- Window shop around town – Milwaukee offers some really cool neighborhoods with local boutique shops. Summer temperatures mean that I can leisurely stroll around town and look at all of the beautiful things that these vendors offer. I like to find hidden gems in boutiques and second-hand shops.
My list goes on a bit more but I thought that gave a good idea of how I’m planning to satisfy my summer cravings this year! How about you? What are some of the things that you crave in the summer?
