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. :)
My son loves fruit juice with vanilla yogurt mixed in, over ice.

Sprinkle on cereal, oatmeal, yogurt, put in fruit salad nm

How about a big fresh and dried fruit and candy basket? nm

Our Chihua/rat terrier mix will eat any kind of fruit, even canned stuff. And fresh

Use in smoothies and to flavor whip cream. Switch out the sweet flavors in cookies all the time. nm

Consider using fresh herbs. So fresh
and spring-y. :oD
I love fresh sage with pork. I especially love pork chops. Great, now I'm hungry.
Adding coconut oil for flax seed oil to your diet

Flax oil and taurine supplements helped me tremendously (sm)
Mine is now pretty much gone but any time I feel bad I start back on the flax oil (oil not capsules) and it helps tremendously. I hope you feel better soon!
Are you on hormones? Tried oil supplements into your diet? Flax seed oil? Coconut oils? Research

ah forgot about the yogurt !
I read somewhere that puppies sometimes don't have enough of some enzyme in their digestive tracts to ward off certain bacteria and you are right, yogurt will build that bacteria back up and help the body naturally fight off certain bacterias. Great advice.
Eat yogurt daily, helped me....nm

Dannon's Activia yogurt (sm)
Takes a while to work, I think Dannon claims 2 weeks, but I think it does help.
When he has a bloody nose, let him eat yogurt...
unless you gave him the 'bloddy nose'!
Haha!
NO BASHING, PLEASE !
LOL! Yogurt is good as it contains a lot of vitamin K
it helps with blood clotting.
If people have not enough blood platelets, then they suffer from
Thrombocytopenia.
No bashing, please.
I am only a humble MT who learned a lot through atudying and MTing.
Thanks!
Why do things like granola bars, yogurt cups, - sm
candy bars, jello & pudding cups, etc. keep getting smaller and smaller? And the amount of cereal in a box is less and less. Yet the packaging stays the same size?
Do they think we don't notice?
I switch between soy saugage on whole wheat english muffin and yogurt or
fresh fruit with yogurt and Bare Naked granola. Coffee of course.
Fruit...

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.

How about a nice fruit salad...
Vet does not work alone. How bout a big fruit

bread; soft fruit

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
s
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.
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.
Fruit salad. It's made with tapioca. If anyone wants the recipe, drop

Does anyone make a fruit cake for holiday giving or are you blessed

Actually, I never even thought about using fresh
chicken (the girl who gave me the recipe said to use the canned chicken undrained). It probably would be even better with the fresh chicken and some of the broth. I was just passing on what was a very good recipe. Anyway, have a good day!
Then you might want to try some fresh stuff.
I just made a turkey breast today that was very tasty. In a little olive oil, salt, and pepper, I chopped up some fresh rosemary, thyme, sage, and a couple cloves of crushed garlic. Then, I just rubbed that onto the (skinless) turkey breast.
I oven-roasted that with some vegetables, but you could put that on chicken breasts and bake or grill them. They'd be good either way.
Good luck!
Thank you for the breath of fresh air
and the very nice comment to both of us. We really have hurt no one and have found someone who mutually shares the love of animals, as I am sure so many of you do. I spoke just last week to a lovely MT who has a little Pekinese named Sophie. We had a great conversation about that. With an elderly very ill parent this board has given me something to focus on and relieve some fear and tension. Thanks again. You comments are truly appreciated.
fresh towels
I use Gain detergent, the regular kind. Has a really nice smell. We live by ocean so our towels get musty smelling quite easily.
used to eat fresh dough but...sm
Was warned not to do this or let kids do it if the dough contained egg, very bad to eat raw, so cut out the licking of the spoon. I know most cookies don't have egg, but we were addicted to all batter. No longer lick the spoons when done.
Fresh coconut!
I had a hankerin for a coconut a few weeks ago so I bought one. Hadn't had one since I was a kid. I drilled the holes in the 'eyes' and drank the coconut juice inside. Then I pryed out the meat, meticulously peeled the brown junk off it with a knife, and ate a whole bunch. Okay, my husband and I both at the whole thing in one sitting it was sooooo yummy! The next day...well, all I'm gonna say is that I am thankful we have 2 bathrooms and were fully stocked on TP. We weren't sick mind you, just incredibly cleaned out. The coconut juice, which only I drank, acted like a diuretic and I think I peed every hour on the hour--and incredible amount each time at that.
I have chronic constipation too because I hate to drink water. I tend to stay borderline dehydrated myself. The chemical laxatives just plain wreak havoc and are very painful and inconvenient to put it nicely. I'd go with better diet, water, and fruits before I'd go with pills if at all possible. Hope she feels better soon!
me too! breath of fresh air.
except for maybe the typo-gestapo. but even that has faded.
BREATH OF FRESH AIR
I think MTStars is Breath of Fresh Air after change in administration. This thread is staying on board is proof of it. MTStars was personal forum rather public board beofre.
I was sick of HER, deleting every other thread and banning those who expressed their opinions that wasn't acceptable for her.

Fresh lettuce from the garden!
 Luv that stuff. Your sammy sounds delicious! Yummmm... TX for sharing...
*hugs* I'm so sorry. I know the pain as it is still very fresh for me. SM
He had such loving parents these last months of his life and you did everything you could for him.
At the cremation place they gave me this card.
The Rainbow Bridge
Just this side of heaven is a place called the Rainbow Bridge. When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to the Rainbow Bridge.
There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water, and sunshine and our friends are warm and comfortable. All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in or dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing, they each miss someone very special to them who had to be left behind. They all run and play together but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. Their bright eyes are intent. Their eager body quivers. Suddenly they begin to run from the group, flying over the green grass, their legs carrying them faster and faster. You have been spotted and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.
Then you cross the Rainbow Bridge together...
Not sure about that, but I thought fresh carrots are usually used. What about
salt in canned foods? That would be my concern with taste, etc.
after BR there are many Fresh Start programs.

Don't forget the fresh stuff!
All suggestions posted area great. Don't forget to add in fresh stuff. A head of iceberg lettuce is pretty inexpensive most days, especially with summer coming. How about getting seeds and planting a garden? You can start the seeds indoors right about now and they'll be ready to go outside in a month or so.
This is a great site, too.

Lots of really good frugal ideas.
I just bought a bunch of stuff to make breakfast burritos with - which is one of my favorite food groups. 24 eggs, a large package of Jimmy Dean sausage, 2 bags of cheese, 1 large tub of red chile, 30 tortillas and 5 pounds of potatoes only cost $22 and change. I figure I'll get at least 25, possibly 30 burritos out of it. I'm assembling them and sticking them in the freezer as one of my projects today.
Just brewed me a fresh pot of Kona coffee.
 I figured I needed a little stimulation to keep me awake. Work is slow today, but can not afford any more time off.
Fresh direct dilivers to most of the boroughs. sm
Are you in NYC or upstate. Because Fresh Direct deliver almost everywhere in NYC. Not much upstate, though.
there is also a jello with fresh cranberries receipe
my mom and aunt use to make. can add walnuts or leave it plain.
