Watermelon Avocado Salad

It has been hot in Los Angeles this week! So yesterday in the late afternoon, I turned off the air and opened the windows for a nice summer breeze, put on French Cafe music via Pandora and made this salad (recipe here) for my husband and I as a romantic surprise when he got off work.  Paired with a glass of Pinot Noir, it was delicious and so relaxing to have a cafe experience in our own home.

LA Heatwave

This weekend, it got pretty warm.  On Sunday it got into the 90s here in LA and it got me so excited for summer! I know so many people hate the heat and while I'll admit I don't like sweating and getting stinky, there is just something about having fun-filled days with friends at the pool and long warm evenings that I have been craving!  Some of these things I got to experience this weekend to satisfy the soul, others I am still waiting for...
