Creamy Cucumber Dip

Nicole'sTable

I have the coolest neighbors. Like Nicole and Jesse. Family meals have always been important to the Vickey’s, but as their family grew, so did the demands on their time. Like most families, they found it harder and harder to gather for that sacred hour called Family Dinner. They noticed it wasn’t just them — their friends and neighbors were all struggling to keep family dinner time a priority, too. So, Nicole and Jesse rolled up their sleeves and did something about it. This entrepreneurial couple created Dinner Elf.

If you are lucky enough to live in Austin, you can have an elf {aka a cook} come into your home with a bag of groceries, prep, cook, and clean your kitchen leaving fully prepared meals in your fridge. Sounds like a dream huh? Who wouldn’t want a dinner elf?

The Vickey’s are also Front Yard People. This is a snapshot of Jesse’s attempt to surprise Nicole for mother’s day with her turquoise table. I died laughing when I saw the photo. Clearly, Nicole was not surprised, but she was grateful.

During the summer, Nicole shares several “summer hacks” that just make life easier. I’m joining her today and sharing my summer cucumber dip. Honestly, it’s so easy kids can make it. Trust me, with the heat of summer you’re going to be thankful for this refreshing dip. It’s great for a gathering or sitting poolside with a girlfriend.

Meet Kristin

Welcome! I'm so glad you're here.

I'm on a mission to love my neighbors. I put an ordinary picnic table in my front yard, painted it turquoise and invited neighbors, friends, and even strangers to hang out and do life together at the Turquoise Table®.

I hope you'll join us!
