Summer Fruit Salad

A good friend of mine recently shared this recipe with me & I have to admit that at first I was skeptical of adding basil to a fruit salad but I was so wrong! This is by far the best fruit salad that I have eaten in a long time so I want to share it with y'all. Enjoy!

You can use whatever kind of fruit you like. I used bananas, blueberries, strawberries, blackberries and raspberries. The amount of honey & basil you need all depends on how much fruit you use. For the amount shown above I used 3 tablespoons of honey and about 12 basil leaves. I also added a little lime juice to keep the bananas from turning brown. Rinse and slice all of the fruit then add to a bowl. Add your lime juice (if needed), honey and basil then mix everything together and voilà! You're done.

 

 

Spaghetti Pie

Do you steer clear of spaghetti at your house because of kiddos or the fear of staining those summer whites your wearing? Well we have found an awesome alternative that your whole family will love...Spaghetti Pie! Try out the recipe and let us know what you think!

                                                                   
                                                                    Ingredients: 

 

                                        1 lb of spaghetti noodles, cooked and cooled

                                        4 eggs

                                        1/2 C Parmesan cheese, shredded

                                        1/2 C Swiss cheese, shredded

                                        4 slices of American cheese or 1/2 C shredded 

                                        Cheddar cheese, your choice                   
                                        (both if you are feeling extra cheesy)
                                        Salt and pepper 

                                        2 tablespoons of olive oil

 

                                                                    To Make:

 

Mix the cooled spaghetti, Parmesan and Swiss cheeses, and eggs together in a large bowl. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. In a large-nonstick sauté pan put 1 tablespoon of olive oil and heat to medium heat. Once hot, add a handful of the spaghetti mixture to the pan and flatten it out to the edges. Lay the American/cheddar cheese on top and add another layer of the spaghetti mixture. Cook for about 5 minutes and flip*, cooking for another 5 minutes on the other side until golden brown. (*To flip with ease get out a large plate, smear 1 tablespoon of oil on it and place it on top of sauté pan. Wearing protective gear, flip the sauté pan and then slide the pie off the plate back into the pan.) 
Once the pie is crispy to your liking, pour it out onto a cutting board, slice as you would a pizza and serve. We like to add a little pizza sauce to the top, but that is optional :) Enjoy!
