Taffy Apple Salad

We've got an awesome 7-Up Strawberry Pie or Taffy Apple Salad recipe for you to try. Fresh fruit is on the menu everywhere you look!

Get Fruity in the Kitchen for Summer!

Apple Pie Cake

With Summer literally right around the corner and all sorts of fun fruits starting to reappear at the produce section and local farmers markets, it's time to get a little fruity! Fruit and Summer go together with...peas and carrots! (Yes, I said it.)

Banana Applesauce Bread

And what could be more delicious than sinking your teeth into Apple Pie Cake or Banana Applesauce Bread? I'm pretty sure pie, cake and bread should have their very own tier on the food pyramid!

Banana Strawberry Sandwich

Have hungry little summer dwellers at your house? Try the banana strawberry sandwich on them the next time you hear "I'm hungry!" It will make a believer out of the pickiest eaters. And, it's easy enough for kids to help with or make themselves.

Blueberry Grunt

Okay, the name throws me off every time I see the recipe, but I have to tell you that our Blueberry Grunt is deliciously sweet and tart all in one bite.  It should be our national fruit embassador. Seriously.

Bisquick Apple Pie with Streusel Topping

If you are a Bisquick booster like me, you will find a new favorite dessert in our Bisquick Apple Pie with Streusel Topping. Personally, anything with the word Streusel in the title works for me.
