Bacon, lettuce and tomato quesadilla
Here is a fun way to serve a classic sandwich with a new Tex-Mex twist. I use sun-dried tomatoes, either quick microwave crispy bacon or traditional bacon, and shredded Fontina cheese.

picnic fruit salad
given to me more than ten years ago, this classic picnic fruit salad tastes like summer memories. my grandmother used to make a recipe very similar to this one, but it included mini marshmallows. that information really dates me, as i don’t think we have been adding marshmallows to salad recipes in over 30 years….
