Ambrosia Salad

I'd actually forgotten about this delicious desert until my mom mentioned it a few days ago. It used to be one of my and my brother's favorite summer salads. Simple and delicious, this cold salad is perfect for picnics and small gatherings!

Cinnamon French Toast Breakfast!

Who doesn't love homemade breakfast in the morning made from mom? I remember when I was younger and we still lived in our single story house, whenever my mom began to make breakfast I would start to awaken from my deep sleep. The house ALWAYS smelled so delicious! Of course as we got older homemade breakfast became rare since we were all on the go, but sundays I could still count on a fresh breakfast made after Sunday mass! One of my favorites had been my mom's french toast! It was quick and simple and always delicious! Well, as much as I love making pancakes and eggs, sometimes I need a change of things! So i decided to make some french toast my way using my mom's simple recipe. To add to the delicious breakfast I had some strawberries and raspberries on hand (fresh of course) so I decided to add my own twist. So here you will get my cinnamon french toast recipe AND my glazed strawberries and raspberries! 

Mandarin Orange Salad

My mom and I have liked vinaigrette dressings for a while now. They are healthier for you and easy to make! We like to mix and match to try and create our own creations. Sometimes they turn out interesting, but we've found one or two keepers for dressings. That aside, with a good dressing you need a good salad to pour it over. One combination that we've found as a winner is a fresh salad with mandarin oranges (one of my and my brother's favorite fruits!) . This is a simple salad and can be adapted however you'd like it! Even try some different fruit, we've added apple slices instead of mandarin oranges with great results too.
