This is a fruit salad my mother-in-law makes, and it is just wonderful and probably the best I have ever had. If you don't like a particular fruit, just substitute it with one that you like! Sometimes my mother-in-law uses peeled and chopped pear in this recipe, you can use pomegranate seeds, mandarin oranges...just whatever seasonal fruit is available to you, it's a very forgiving recipe and completely full of vitamins.

Gingerbread Gooey Butter Cookies
These cookies are Christmas cookie perfection! They have such a wonderful texture, just the right touch of sweetness, and so much rich warmth from the spice blend. The ingredient list is a little daunting, but it's well worth it. And it makes a pretty good sized batch of dough, so you can prep the dough, and keep it in the fridge (covered) - and as needed pull out enough to make a couple sheets of cookies, then popping the dough back in the fridge! Fresh cookies in a flash!
Mango Sorbet
This dreamy mango sorbet is a deliciously refreshing dessert to make with fresh ripe mangos to cool off on hot summer days. Hope you enjoy this as much as my family does!
Coconut Streusel Cherry Pie
Sweet juicy cherries with a coconut topping. Water can be substituted for almond-flavored liqueur. Wrap pie crust edges with foil during baking if necessary to prevent over-browning.
