Happy Memorial Day Weekend, friends!
May your Memorial Day be reflective of those who have made it possible.

Ingredients:

#1 Star Fruit Tray

  • strawberries, stems removed
  • blueberries
  • mini marshmallows
  • angel food cake, cubed

#2 Berry Kabobs

  • raspberries
  • blackberries
  • mini marshmallows

#3 Flag Fruit Platter

  • seedless watermelon, cubed
  • yogurt covered pretzels
  • blueberries

Directions:

#1 Star Fruit Tray

  1. Place a large star cookie cutter in the center of a round platter. 
  2. Fill with mini marshmallows then arrange pound cake, strawberries, blueberries in a circle from outside in. 
  3. Remove the cookie cutter in the center then serve.

#2 Berry Kabobs

  1. Thread raspberries, mini marshmallows, and blackberries on small skewers, piercing the center of the fruit to secure. 
  2. Arrange on a tray and serve. 

#3 Flag Fruit Platter

  1. Start with a rectangular shaped tray.
  2. Fill a small bowl with blueberries and place in the upper left corner.
  3. Add a horizontal row of cubed watermelon, then yogurt pretzels, then watermelon, and yogurt pretzels again.

    #1 Star Fruit Tray

    Place a large star cookie cutter in the center of a round platter. Fill with  mini marshmallows then arrange pound cake, strawberries, blueberries in a circle from outside in. Remove the cookie cutter in the center before serving. 
    We brought this platter to a Memorial Day picnic at my husband’s work. It is such a pretty presentation and everyone, especially the kids, loved it!

    #2 Berry Kabobs

    Thread raspberries, mini marshmallows, and blackberries on small skewers, piercing the center of the fruit to secure. Arrange on a tray and serve. 
    I cut wooden skewers in half to make these cute kabobs. 
    You could also use larger fruit {strawberries, bananas} and keep them full size. 

     #3 Flag Fruit Platter

    Start with a rectangular shaped tray.
    Fill a small bowl with blueberries and place in the upper left corner.
    Add a horizontal row of cubed watermelon, then yogurt pretzels, then watermelon, and yogurt pretzels again. Serve and enjoy!
    I made this for dinner and my girls thought it was fantastic!
    It’s always fun thinking of clever ways to serve them fruits and veggies!
    Remember those who have sacrificed this Memorial Day!

    🍽 Yesterday we enjoyed lunch at NCAL+H2O, an upscale seafood gem of a restaurant in downtown Rolla. It was a delicious meal and everything this Florida girl has been craving! 
🐟 We started with an order of amazing Tuna Poke Nachos then shared a Grilled Shrimp Club sandwich with fries and a tasty salad with house garlic parm dressing. We couldn't stop there so we also split a bowl of cioppino, which was chock full of fresh seafood. Next time I want to try their Parmesan Halibut or Seafood Pasta! 
❤ If you are looking for a nice restaurant to celebrate an anniversary or have a quiet date night (or day date like us) check out @saltwaterrollamo ! 
⭐ Lunch was courtesy of @rolladowntown.  I was a winner of $100 in downtown dollars in their Tis the Season of Giving contest!

    🥡 We tried @doordash for the first time during our stay in Branson tonight. It really saved us time and energy running around town and delivery was free! We ordered ramen, bi bim bap, and lo mein from a local Asian restaurant called Noodle 21. It was delish! Check them out if you are in the area and send me a message if you want a referral for $5 off to try #doordash ! @noodle21branson #eatlocal #branson #takeoutfood #whatsfordinner

    Road trip time and #CaseysCurbside saved the day! We stopped at @caseys and stocked up on some supplies, including my favorite pretzels and juice from their new line of Casey’s favorites, before we were on our way. I love that I can order right on Caseys.com or via their app and pickup using their free and easy curbside. #sponsored
