This is the easiest fruit salad ever. It is fast to make and surprisingly good. If you are a cherry pie filling fan, this is one you will want to make.
This is the recipe that we had for Easter dinner that I posted about earlier today.
Often, I end up getting the generic brand canned fruit because many times it is cheaper than with a coupon. I even keep the cans in the fridge so they are cold and toss it together right before we eat!
** I am sure you can add other canned fruit or fresh fruit, this is just how I make it each time! Thanks to Sarah K. for making this for us years ago!
Last fall I posted a Living Social deal for the River Road tree houses on the Guadalupe River in TX. We bought a voucher along with my Brother and Sister in law. We decided to meet up over Easter this weekend. They have 5 kids, all girls, the same ages as my youngest 5. It is always fun when we get together!
We spent Friday driving and playing on the river. The tree houses were just as cool as we had expected! There were 6 of them built onto the side of a ravine in the trees. We had a small creek below our cabin that was perfect for the little kids to play and across the road we had a private launch into the Guadalupe. Which worked awesome for the big kids.
This was a little untraditional for us as we normally spend Easter at home, going to church and making the traditional Easter dishes.
I snapped the dinner picture at the last minute! I had eaten most of my dinner at that point! I think this was one of the best meals I have ever had. Everything was cooked perfectly and the flavor was OUT OF THIS WORLD!
We had corn on the grill, steak, fresh green beans and my husbands favorite fruit salad, made with canned cherry pie filling. For dessert we had strawberries, angel food cake and whipped cream. PREFECT MEAL! Oh and of course Dr. Pepper, frosty icy cold!
The kids were dirty, sweaty and happy as can be! In swim suits and even a diaper or two!
The best part was this morning after the egg hunt, all the kids were in the living room together, we had an impromptu Easter service. We sang a few primary songs, had prayer and the Dads led an Easter Q&A with the kids. Asking them about why we celebrate Easter and what it means to them. I love those kinds of moments, you can’t plan for them, they just happen and that is what makes them so cool.
As we left, the cows that had been in the field behind us came to visit again, and we showed our true colors as city folk….
Everyone of us stood at the fence and begged the cows to come over and say hi! For 30 minutes or more we were mesmerized by cows eating grass. Sigh!
As we are on our way home and I have time to reflect on this weekend, I have to tell you how thankful I am for my sweet family, for all my brothers, sisters and for their families. I am thankful for all of you who take time out of your day to stop by and see what is new and for all the amazing friends I have had the privilege to make through my blog! I hope you had a wonderful Easter!
