Its a Summer long weekend!  And I hope the weather people are wrong about the weather (go away rain!).   When planning for the weekend at the cottage, we can often be left standing in our kitchens and grocery stores scratching our heads for quick healthy recipes.   Try reaching for the watermelon and make a cucumber watermelon salad.  It is quick, easy and it’s refreshing for these hot summer days.
