    Spinach Strawberry Feta Cheese Salad

    Spinach Strawberry Feta Cheese Salad is a wonderful seasonal dish. Strawberries are seasonal but can be found in almost any super market. Look for juicy berries that have an appealing fragrance. Driscoll berries seem to be good most years. I ended up making this a few times and really enjoyed just how unusually refreshing it was to eat. The Feta Cheese really gives it a luxury that is so rich with smooth flavors the berries sweetness just melts right on your tongue for a zen of awareness that the season of taste has arrived.

      Pineapple Strawberry Salsa

      Pineapple Strawberry salsa is a naturally sweet mouthwatering dip that won’t last long once the first bite is taken. Change up the salsa selection at your next social gathering with this fresh made easy to follow recipe. My family knew something good was happening when I started chopping in the kitchen. The occasional teenager would circle closer and closer until it was feeding time. My husband sensed the activity in the kitchen and made his way to the frenzy to get his scoops in before it was significantly reduced or worse all gone. Joking aside, my family did love this recipe and I hope yours does too.

      Watch the video and follow the instructions below to have this exciting party favor at the ready.

          Instant Pot Cranberry Juice

          Decorate the refreshment tray during your next family gathering with this deliciously refreshing cranberry juice. The red-color will stimulate the optical receptors as the pleasing scent makes everyones mouth water with anticipation. Garnish with a lemon or orange slice to enhance the drink’s presentation to a sophisticated looking beverage. The kids will not hesitate to drain the glass once they get their first taste as the juice is laced with natural sweetness. This recipe uses the perfect balance of honey (buy local if you can find it) and fresh squeezed lemon juice. I had to make this recipe twice as my family drank it all shortly after the first batch was made. The second batch didn’t last much longer but, I ran out of cranberries so that ended the cycle. 

          Once the kids have had there serving you may find it rewarding and interesting to include a jigger of your favorite libation in your cup when no-one is looking.  If you like the occasional cosmopolitan you will appreciate the flavor profile this juice serves as a fresh made mixer for a fabulous cranberry cocktail.
