Five on Friday 6.6.14


I am once again joining The Grits Blog and the ladies of 5 on Friday!




o n e

My favorite part of summer is the summer salads! I love pasta salads and fresh salsas. I have a recipe for a cucumber salsa that I can't wait to make--- stay tuned as it will be featured in the next few weeks on Delicious Dish Tuesdays.

I am all about supporting Michigan and I just love these new Michigan tank tops from Michigan Awesome! I have a tee from there that says "Home is Where the Hand Is" and it is so comfy and such a versatile "graphic tee".

Do you have suggestions for a good summer read? 
While I was in the Dominican I finished the first of Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series and I liked that it was interesting and an easy read! I have seen many people reading The Fault in Our Stars and I think that may be my next read.

Monday is my husband's orientation for nurse anesthesia school on the other side of the state, which means only a 2-day work weekend as we will be staying with friends Sunday night. Yippee!!

A throwback to three weeks ago when we were in the Dominican!

Fruit Salad



A fruit salad is a staple in the summer time; nothing beats some fresh fruit, especially from the local Farmer's Market on a hot day.
I wanted to share a little spin that I put on my version that really packs a punch!

I cut up a variety of mixed fruits (mostly berries, some pineapple, grapes, etc. I am not a big melon fan) Then I add 1/2 to 3/4 of a can of peach pie filling. It adds some sugary goodness to the fruit and tastes SO good!!



Thanks for stopping by!!
ENJOY!
