Delicously Easy Party Fruit Side Dish!

Berry Fruit Salad, oh how I love your sweet tasty goodness! I also love that you are so easy to make. I promise to serve you at every party, rain or snow, Winter or Fall!
The absolute best thing about this fruit salad is that you absolutely cannot mess it up! You can combine almost any fruit together and be pleased with the results. The key to the goodness: one can of cherry pie filling and one small tub of cool whip! MMMM! (note: when I make this I actually mix the tub of whip cream in with the fruit in a large bowl instead of using it as a garnish, but the garnish made for a better picture:))

So here are a few of the variations you could use:
Raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, strawberries, cherry pie filling and whip cream

peaches, mandarin oranges, pineapple, strawberries, grapes, blueberries, cherry pie filling and whip cream

You see, just throw in your favorite fruits and away you go. You could even substitute a different pie filling. Fresh or frozen works in most cases. Drain any juice from canned fruits and make sure fruit thaws before you mix it with whip cream. Got left overs? Either save them for tomorrow or mix it up in a smoothie! SO yummy!

Happy Mixing!

The Pumpkin Who had Lips

It may be a little early to start thinking about carving pumpkins, but what the hay! A good idea always keeps.
I don't always love to scoop pumpkin guts out of pumpkins and not all of my kids are old enough to use knives (even safety knives) to carve a jack-o-lantern, so I think this is a great, not to mention cute and original idea!

How cute is she?! She was named Eve by my blond daughter (we call her our vanilla- my daughter, not the pumpkin) ! To recreate her look you will need:a pumpkin* Toothpicks*radishes*red bell peppers* Kiwi* cucumber* one carrot

Cut the fruits and veggies and attach with toothpicks in a way that makes you smile! I personally love Eve's radish earrings:)

My Brunette (we call her our chocolate) named her pumpkin Kelly. You can see that I had to do a little gut scraping and carving on this pumpkin. Oh, well, to each her own:)

If you try this (it is so easy) I would LOVE to see pictures of how yours turned out!

Happy Crafting!
