Field Fresh Flavor That Explodes In Your Mouth

I have bought so many strawberries this year and it ins’t even the middle of June! It must have been a good growing year, because the flavor has been exceptional.

The best way to tell if berries are picked ripe are to slice into them and see if the red color goes from the tip to the stem. Berries that are mostly white and pink on the inside were picked before the berry flavor was set. It allows for a longer shelf life, but who wants to add some sugar to their fruit to bring out the flavor.

Not me!

Putting a bowl of strawberries on the table is always a nice addition, but this creative fruit dish is a simple way to add some class to the fresh flavors of summer. It can be served as a stand alone side, or served with a sugar cookie and a dollop of whipped cream as a dessert.

Fresh. Flirty. And Functional! Can I get a wink!

This is what Jenn for Once Upon a Chef has to say about this bright and cheery dish.

With only five ingredients, it’s quick and easy to make. The only tricky part is cutting the oranges. Rather than slicing them into wheels, I like to cut the segments out of the membranes; it takes a few extra minutes but it’s prettier and the oranges are so much easier to eat.

If this is what a salad looks like all I can say is Bring it on!

Enticing my kids to eat their vegetables is like trying to turn cleaning their room into a game. It only works if you are Mary Poppins!

Packed with vegetables, crisp apples, craisins, and walnuts this is as satisfying to the taste buds as it is pleasing to the eye.

Face it, I haven’t heard very many people say the eat too many vegetables, but with a recipe like this, getting your tribe to eat their greens won’t be too difficult. In fact, they might even ask for a second helping!
