Meal Plan: Celebrate the End of School with Fruit Recipes
The school year is coming to an end and no one knows it more so than moms. Summer time is prime time to reconnect with kids and there is no better approach than to get together in the kitchen.
As a young girl, I relished summer; not because there was no school, but because it meant that my mother would be buying fruit. Strawberries, raspberries, peaches, nectarines, pears, cherries, apples, and watermelon would fall out of our fridge during the summer months.
What fruits do your family absolutely love? With the end of school approaching, I'll be sharing recipes featuring fruits of summer. Just remember that you can't eat all the ingredients before the dish is complete.
