Fruit Salad

We went to the beach not too long ago. I was in the process of making a fruit roll-up recipe, from Rachael Ray's 30 Minute Meals show - one that aired about 4 year ago! It involved making a fruit mixture and rolling it into some flour tortillas. I made this recipe 4 years ago and it was really handy - but this time I forgot the detail about warming up the tortilla so that it would roll up easy. Since I forgot and I was in a hurry, my tortilla kept breaking and I got frustrated. Therefore, I scrapped that idea and made it into a fruit salad. It was yummy and the kids liked it. When my family came to visit, I made that salad again for our trip to the beach.

This is what I did, I mixed up a bunch of fruit -peaches, apples, grapes, bananas, strawberries - with lemon juice and strawberry jam (mine was homemade freezer jam). It was a perfect salad for a day at the beach. Next time I will post Racheal Ray's Fruit Roll-Up recipe - it is yummy too.

Creamy Cole Slaw

Kirk also made this yummy cole slaw for Mother's Day. I was surprised at how much I liked it and Kirk was surprised at how easy it was. Maybe this would be a good salad to make for your next up and coming bar-b-que. What are you fixing for Memorial Day? This recipe might be a good idea and everyone will be astonished because it is homemade! Kirk even shredded the cabbage and carrots himself. Try it, Creamy Cole Slaw by Bobby Flay from the Food Network Website.

Enjoy and happy cooking!
