Fresh fruit salad or fruit kabobs
Sounds yummy!
I've always wanted to make one of those cakes with the blueberry/strawberry flag design on top. Maybe I'll plan for a party next year. :)
Fruit salad. It's made with tapioca. If anyone wants the recipe, drop

Fruit Kabobs?
I have to send in fruit for my son't party at school tomorrow. I thought fruit kabobs would be a cute way to do this. Can I make them tonight and still be good tomorrow afternoon? I only ask because he wants apples and bananas to be included and they usually go brown on me when exposed to air. any suggestions?
Or fruit tray and dip.

Just like the Tropical Passion Fruit
I love that stuff. I only have a little inch in a purse-size spray now.  Supposedly they may bring it back, but I am bummed. I loved that for the summer. 
Fruit kabobs? Do you cook them?
Sorry to show my ignorance, but the idea sounds really good. I never thought of fruit kabobs. Do you BBQ, broil or bake? Which fruit combinations are best?
Also, I would add something fun for kids if you have them (and adult easy) by making cupcakes in flat-bottomed ice cream cones with icing decoration. Kids love them. I would also add a relish dish and probably a veggie platter.
So sad...but thanks for this. I have a small dog who loves ANY kind of fruit

I lightly grill my fruit kabobs...
Simple combinations like strawberry-kiwi, strawberry-banana or strawberry-pineapple are outstanding grilled desserts. Also, mango is really good with any of these combos. Grill the kabobs over medium hot coals for 6 to 8 minutes, turning a few times. They're great as is, right off the grill, with nothing else added. But I find them best with added sweetness, like a very light sprinkling of a sugar-cinnamon mixture or brush on some white grape juice or a very light sugar or honey syrup. Hope this helps..
berry or fruit juice for diets sm
Heard the "free trial offer" for the acai berry (sp) on line is a farce because once you give all the info and agree to the low shipping charge, you are locked into an automatic charge to your credit card of 80 plus dollars. If you try to contact them, the phone number provided is non-operational and you are stuck. Is this berry product available in retail stores? Also, anyone find any pomegrant (sp) juice helpful and who has the best price on it? Need to lose some "winter weight" and it's not even winter yet. Kind of hard when you sit all day - I know, I know - diet and exercise! Told by my cardiologist to walk but recuperating from surgery, so not that active. TIA
What has helped my pain are fruit and vegetable capsules. sm
I have been taking them for 8 years or so ever since my pain started to get so bad I couldn't sleep (I know you know what I mean). I was working for a certified nutritionalist/chiropractor at the time. They have helped me so much that I continue to take them after all these years because I'm afraid not to. I did stop for a little while and tried another product (10 months or so) but the pain came back. Email me if you want to know more info. I am not a distributor so I'm not trying to sell them or anything, it is just what has been working for me.
How about a big fresh and dried fruit and candy basket? nm
s
Plants will attract gnats, as will ripe fruit.
If the gnats are congregated in one area, sticky bug cards will help catch them for you. Or you can kill them by spraying them directly with an ammonia-based cleaner like many glass-cleaning formulas.
My son loves fruit juice with vanilla yogurt mixed in, over ice.

Need help regarding Potato salad?...sm
I have a problem. When my children were young they never liked potato salad. They always asked if I would make macaroni salad all the time with holiday meals. Today my son who is a teenager asked me if I would make potato salad to go with the turkey and all the other holiday goodies. He said he does like potato salad now. I have no clue how to make this as I have never made it. Any recipes/help would be so greatly appreciated. 
Chicken Salad
I agree with keeping it simple . . . just wanted to add that I love to use leftover grilled chicken, and don't forget the garlic. Love the garlic!
Speaking of Salad...
what kind of lettuce/other green leafy stuff do you like when you order/make a salad?
A couple of times I've gone in restaurants and they have brought me a salad that looked like they went out back and pulled weeds. Now, I love veggies, but that's some scary stuff. I'm simple..I just want iceberg lettuce!...then I can add other goodies that I can identify.

recipe for chicken salad
 Anyone have a good one?
After I cut up a salad with my fork and knife
I lick the dressing off my knife (even in restaurants). I can't stop myself. Life my BFF says, at least you have admitted you have a problem, that is the first step.
My grandmas jello salad
It's wonderful and I never had a thanksgiving without it (well I did have a few but I missed it). It's so so easy
1 - 8 oz package jello. (I always use black cherry, mom always used lemon).
1 - 8 oz. pckg cream cheese.
1 large can crushed pineapple.
Crushed walnuts - optional
Dissolve jello in 2 cups boiling water and add cream cheese and mix til cream cheese is blended in and no lumps. Add the can of crushed pineapple with the juice (this makes up for those 2 cups of cold water you would normally add to the jello). Throw in some chopped walnuts if you like and let set overnight.

My mother's "tropical salad"
I still love this.
1 can pineapple chunks -reserve juice.
1 can mandarin oranges - reserve juice.
16 oz sour cream (now I use nonfat)
1 cup shredded coconut (the kind in a bag).
1/2 bag of miniature marshmallows.
Mix everything & refrigerate it overnight. If it has gotten dry (the marshmallows absorb moisture) add some of the reserved juice. Before serving add 1 or 2 sliced bananas.
My sisters & I used to fight over this.
I like potato salad with sweet pickles in it. sm
That's how my mom and grandma always made it, so I grew up eating it that way. But the very thought of sweet pickles makes my hubby ill, so dill pickles it is for us. 
I've eaten grapes in my salad before sm
right alonside the eggs, onions, peppers, cheese croutons and even tuna fish. Now, that is good. I like tuna in my salad. I make a big one and I am full for the rest of the day. Just open the can of tuna, drain it and dump it in the lettuce. Add all the other ingredients including the green grapes, or purple if you prefer and add your dressing. It's pretty good.
Wrong ingredient in that hot chicken salad
That recipe calls for MAYO but it is supposed to be miracle whip salad dressing.
Also can replace almonds for cashews.

Potato salad, baked beans.

Steak, of course, baked potato and salad.
I really, really wanted this guy bad. Got him too...now I sometimes wonder why I really, really wanted him bad.... Just kidding!
You could also make a cold rice and tuna salad, with a little - sm
mayo, some onion, maybe some peas and/or mushrooms if you have 'em. But, yeah, the add soup and call it a casserole/hotdish idea was the first one I had, too. :-)
don't forget mashed potatoes and potato salad!...nm

What a nice response by a nice mom
What a gracious, well-adjusted response to a rude, obviously maladjusted poster--Hard to imagine someone with such an empty life and such a petty spirit that they would take the time to post criticism about a kid's feet! (Some people really have major issues, LOL!)
I've used canned tomatoes in tossed salad in the wintertime...
because I can't stand the plastic tomatoes they sell out of season in the store. I also use them in tuna salad, chicken salad, etc. In summer, we grow our own, but for winter the canned ones are great, especially the petite-diced.
I would do pasta salad (I make mine with Ranch and chicken!)
dip for the chips, cheesecake and some kind of potatoes, maybe on the grill?
My favorite meal! Cracked crab as much as you can eat, bread, salad! nm

Rolls, dessert (some kind of soft pie or chocolate pie). Instead of potato salad, maybe sm
mashed potatoes since they are edentulous. Green bean casserole was a great idea. Corn casserole too is yummy.
Grilled rib steak, shrimp scampi, asparagus and green salad...
I'm getting hungry just seeing the steaks marinating, lol!
I'm very blessed...my SO is a gourmet cook. We rarely eat out because what he can prepare at home tastes much better than anything we could get at a restaurant and costs half as much to prepare.
Geez, it's only 1 o'clock...hope the time passes quickly til dinner!!!
