Easy Cream Cheese Fruit Dip
This 4th of July looked a little different for us. Baseball pretty much consumes our summer schedule, and over the holiday weekend we were divided and conquering in different states for both of my boys’ tournaments. My son and I were the only ones home, and even then, we spent most of the weekend at a baseball tournament in Milwaukee.
It ended up being such a special weekend and one of those core memories I know I will always hold onto. He hit his very first out-of-the-park home run, and I was so happy I was there to see it!
In between baseball games, I made this quick cream cheese fruit dip to serve with fresh strawberries, blueberries and other fruit. It only takes three ingredients and a few minutes to make.
