Recipe: Watermelon Berry Salad

Yesterday, I ran an Instagram poll (one of many I like to do on instagram) and the poll results are in! I posted a photo of this Watermelon Berry Salad and asked “would you like the recipe for this summer salad?” and the “Hells Ya!” have won.

Thank You all for taking part and keep scrolling down for the full recipe. These polls help me decide what recipes to post. and which I should keep to myself, locked away, deep in my archives. I hope you enjoy this salad as much as Frank and I do.

PSA: The dressing is what makes this combination shine BUT if it’s not your thing simply pour the juice of two limes over the cut fruit and toss.

If you've been following along for a while or just joined the KC foodie gang, nothing makes me happier than food. From cooking, to eating to talking about food. So, feel free to comment below. I would love to hear your thoughts. Don’t be shy, let’s chat ~ (((hugs)))

Recipe: White Sangria

Hot summer days, a pitcher of Sangria, and a hand held fan is all you need. Give my recipe for White Sangria a try and I guarantee your glass will never be empty, BUT this pitcher should have a warning label attached that reads "This thirst quencher creeps up on you so slow your flow" ;-) Cheers!!!

White Sangria

1 bottle Vinho Verde or a crisp white wine

2 ounce Triple Sec or fruit brandy (I use Cherry Brandy)

1 cup Presidents Choice Old Fashion Lemonade

2 cups Gingerale

1/2 cup Mellon, balls or cubed

5 strawberries, sliced

1 white peach, sliced

1 orange, sliced (optional)

Lots of Ice

Chill and serve!
