Summer is a time where fresh, seasonal veggies are abundant at the farmer’s market and in the garden. My kids have no problem eating their veggies, but our family enjoys them so much more with a good dip. This dill pickle dip is creamy, tangy, and everything you’d want in a dip.

My sister turned 40 in October, and this trip was a belated celebration for her. We think this is the first time the three of us have gone on a real vacation together – just the three of us – and we are hoping to make it an annual tradition moving forward.

Most people go their entire lives never learning how to fall. Everyone takes a tumble at some point. Whether it’s a patch of ice, a trail root, a misstep off a curb, or just an unlucky moment, falls happen to all of us. And for a lot of people, especially as they age, a single fall can be genuinely life-altering. Hip fractures alone carry a staggering mortality rate in older adults.
