When I posted the recipe for the Wayside Inn Carrot Cake this summer, I mentioned a block party I attended with my folks. I love parties where everyone brings something – there’s always some “new to me” recipe to meet (along with a few friends! Hey, it’s not always all about the food!) This Citrus Vanilla Fruit Salad one I had there and I just can’t seem to stop making it!

A while back, I made some lovely Meringue Nests and had some leftover meringues. I stashed them in an airtight container on top of the fridge. Now, in my defense, I can’t see up there, and forgot about them…long story short, when I finally came across those few lonely meringue nests, weeks later, they were still fine. I had some berries in the fridge, so Eton Mess made sense!

Apple Crisp is as American as Apple Pie (which really might not be all that American – it’s likely to have been brought over by the English), but fruit crisps are so good with so many fruits or combinations. I’ve been making this simple Any Fruit Crisp with Streusel Topping for ages, so I can testify to how good it is!
Any Fruit Crisp – this is apple (with a drizzle of caramel before topping)
There’s salad and then there’s SALAD – you know, the one that shouts rather than whispers? The one you want MORE of…the salad that has that little something extra to take it over the top. That’s this salad, Spinach Quinoa Salad with Candied Pecans.

There are shortcakes, and then there are shortcakes, and these Three Berry Shortcakes are the latter – an absolute show stopper of a summer dessert. Wait, this is more than a dessert; this is an extravaganza.
