A Delicious and Simple Summer Salad...

 So you signed up to bring a salad? Or, you're hosting a meal and want a salad that doesn't come in a kit? A little something special that won't take all day to make?

This summer salad is the best part of sweet and savory. The bright colors make it a beauty as well. And, not counting salads that come in a bag, it couldn't be easier!

Ingredients:

Mixed greens

Sliced cucumbers

Fresh, sliced strawberries

"Pecan Pie" pecans (or glazed pecans)

Extra sharp white cheddar cheese (cut into bite-sized pieces)

Raspberry dressing 

Salt and pepper to taste

Just toss all of the ingredients together, preferably in a large white bowl - which makes the colors pop even more.

Then drizzle on plenty of the raspberry dressing. I found Panera's Raspberry dressing at our grocery store. It is SO good! 

Enjoy!

Hope you have a great weekend!

Simple Summer Country Joys...

Do you ever crave slowing down the clock and enjoying some simple country living? Maybe with loved ones or just some time alone with your thoughts?

May I suggest blueberry picking? 

Our boys and I headed out to a local farm. (Don't you love this sign? ;)

Tin buckets in-hand...

For one of the few times this summer, the boys got quiet ;) 
and lost themselves in the task of picking. 

There was a peacefulness of being out in that blueberry farm with one activity to focus on. Even our boys noticed with one of them saying, "I love it out here." 

We picked about 4 pounds of blueberries. We could have picked more, but football camp was calling to our oldest. ;) 

We left the farm with our little treasures, along with a sweet summer memory.

The short drive home wasn't too bad either...

Happy summer day!
