I love this Strawberry Cream Oatmeal Smoothie! It’s super simple, full of healthy, natural ingredients, and is ready in a shake! And you don’t need any frozen ingredients! Bonus. At least if you’re like me and forget to freeze fruit for smoothies, and normally don’t keep frozen fruit in the freezer.
Fruited Chicken Salad with Honey Dijon
Way back when my sister and I were discussing what should be on the menu for a family get together. We got down to the salad dressing. “Honey Dijon?” I asked. It was kind of a new thing then. “No one likes that,” she said, flatly. But I didn’t say, “I do, I do!” And goodness help me, I do. Home-made at least, and especially on this Fruited Chicken Salad with Honey Dijon. Don’t tell my sis!
Peach Upside Down Cake
It seems like I’ve been doing a lot with desserts lately, partially because I just finished updating all of my dessert menus which took weeks! So, in way of saying thanks for your patience about post after post of desserts, I’m posting another dessert! So if you haven’t deserted me (sorry, couldn’t help myself) here’s a beautiful Peach Upside Down Cake. I know my pics don’t do it justice!
Desserts with Fruit
Many of my favorite desserts are made with fruit (the rest are usually chocolate!) Here you’ll find fruit-based desserts, desserts with fresh fruit or dried or those that have a fruit sauce. Enjoy!
any fruit (just about)
apples and applesauce
Apricot Tart
I can’t tell you how excited I was to see apricots at the store last week. While they may not be my all time favorite to die for fruit, I was like, “Well, hello old friend!” Seriously, I spotted a lady carrying some to her cart and went back to produce to find them.
