Summer's Bounty

Is there anything better than the fresh vegetables and fruits of Summer?

No, unless it's visiting a local farm or farmer's market to

 buy those delicious

treats!

Not only do these taste so good but they are beautiful in

color and shape...

They say we enjoy food with our eyes as well as our

taste buds!

And when your produce looks this

pretty and fresh you know you will dine well!

We always enjoy visiting Treadway's

and bringing home many  fruits 

(and veggies too! *smile*) of their labor.

They are always friendly, helpful and the

produce is oh so good.

Last night we feasted on sweet corn, squash, tomatoes,

 cantaloupe and the juiciest blackberries.

No Queen or King could dine any finer!

Just one of the many joys this season brings!

Hoping you too are enjoying some of Summer's

delicious bounty!

Love,

The Perfect Summer Treat...

...or, at least, that's what my kids pronounced this delicious delight! I know many of you make fruit pizza and share our affinity for it! It DOES seem just perfect for a hot Summer day! And couldn't be easier!

I used slice and bake sugar cookie dough...laid it on a pizza pan, overlapping the edges. Flattened it down by hand and baked according to the directions on the package...just till it was a nice, pale golden brown.

Then I mixed up a yummy sauce of creme cheese, 1/4 cup of  confectioner's sugar and a container of Cool Whip. Blend it all together and spread it onto the cookie crust. (It also makes a great dip for strawberries and other fruits of the season!)

Now the fun begins! Use any fruit you have on hand or just plain enjoy! For this one we used kiwi fruit, strawberries, nectarines, blueberries & raspberries. To finish I added just a drizzle of dark chocolate!

Yep, just perfect I would say!

It's a hot one today here in Ohio. I hope you are staying cool and happy in your part of the world...
