Party Panache, Tropical Summer Fruit Spears
One of the best parts of summer is all the luscious fresh fruit and vegetables
Fruit Pastries with Almond Cream
Today’s Tropical Summer Fruit Spears are more of an idea than a recipe
These mini fruit skewers are not only party pretty,
they are perfect to have in your fridge for a quick, healthy,
a great grab and go snack
If fruit is already cut up, you’re much more likely to reach for it
Keep a plate of skewers ready in the fridge
I made these for my hungry boys
So refreshing on hot summer days, and more nutritious than a popsicle
Now if you want to get a little fancier
Give them a drizzle of a fruit vinaigrette or poppy seed dressing
Top with chopped macadamia nuts or coconut
Wonderful for a ladies luncheon, tea, shower or outdoor gathering
Treat yourself!

What a wonderful way to start my day!
Aren’t you a sweetie!
I make a fruit pizza in the summer. A cream cheese and powdered sugar mixture cover the baked crust. Then add sliced fruit – grapes, peaches, pineapple, kiwi, mandarin oranges slices, thinly sliced apples, strawberries, and blueberries. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Yum!
Oh that sounds so good! Thanks Ann!
Jenna, you had me at tropical fruit. Could you please send over a couple of those spears this morning? I have a watermelon chilling in the refrigerator, I can’t wait to slice it. Happy Thursday!
Sometimes simple is better than anything!
