Shamrock crust on a fruit cobbler

When my son was about 3 years old, we sat together in the back yard having a snack of fresh apricots.  I showed him how to break it in half and then explained how God planned for more apricots by leaving a seed in the fruit to plant.  Of course he asked if he could plant it, and off he went.  He pushed the seed into a crack he found in the dirt next to the privacy fence.  We were both delighted the next summer when it came up!  My son is 30 now and that tree is a mature fruit bearer. 

Apricot Feta Bacon Summer Salad

On a warm summer day it’s nice to sit on the patio and enjoy a fresh summer salad for lunch.  Use a variety of your favorite greens, add some fruit, cheese and maybe some protein and serve yourself some lite dressing on the side.  The salad I am eating today is diabetic friendly and delicious.  I’m using dried apricots today because I have a few left over from the scones I made.  I like the light tartness and tenderness of the apricots.  If I had some fresh strawberries I’d probably throw them in also!  The measurements in the recipe are for one person but can easily be doubled, tripled, quadrupled.  The proportions don’t need to be exact, you decide how much of each you like in your salad.

Apricot Burrito

Sometimes you just want something sweet but you don't want to make a big mess in the kitchen or wait too long.  Here is one of my favorite quick, easy recipes that can be made for one or for more in less that 30 minutes.  I made four this time.  Two for me and two for hubs.

Warm a few flour tortilla's in the microwave 20 seconds
Place heaping tablespoon full of fruit preserves on one side of one tortilla.
Roll tightly.

Fry in hot grease until lightly browned on both sides.
You can use a toothpick to hold the roll tight if you need to.

  Dust with powdered sugar.

Cool a few minutes and devour!

Ingredients:

Flour tortillas

Fruit preserves (I like chunks of fruit in mine)

Our favorite is Apricot Preserves, but you can use your favorite fruit.

Powdered sugar

Vegetable oil to fry them in.
