This is a beautiful salad. It would make an elegant addition to any Holiday dinner. The red, green and orange remind me of Spring in Sonoma. The green backdrop dotted with spectacular blossoms.

The kids love yogurt. Every month we buy a box of assorted yogurt from Costco. It usually will last all month. Mason is crazy over strawberry. Adelin will only eat blueberry and Everett, well he is not picky. I have never thought to try another flavor until last month when I was volunteering in Mason’s…
