Savor Summertime Flavor with Fruit Salsa
Autumn is upon us and the dog days of summer will soon be a distant memory. While I won’t miss the oppressive heat, biting flies and the crowds of people cooling off at the mountain lakes, I will miss the summertime fruit most of all.

I have been craving Three bean salad. Not the soggy, over-sauced, over-sugared stuff from the grocery store but the slightly crisp, perfectly balanced flavors of tangy and sweet that my Grandma-In-Law creates every year.

Although I don’t pack any lunch boxes, I love the variety of fruit in the lunch box pack. My family isn’t always great about grabbing a piece of fruit as a snack so I tend to serve fruits with meals to make sure they are getting it in their diet. […]
