Good Morning Julie!
OK...seriously.. Cherry Pie Salad is one of our favorites!
If there are any of your readers that are on the fence about this recipe, I say "make it, you'll love it"!!
Looks like you had some good eats.
Cute apron that you have and I think it's a cute car that you got too :)
Have a great day. Hope it's a sunny one!!
MMMM! Yummy recipes! And yay for the new car!
That apron is so sweet, it reminds me of a vintage tablecloth I have that was my great grandmothers. Similar fabric (only green), with a little design embroidered around the edges.
What I would give right now for that Chicken Salad sandwich. lol
Julie I have never seen such a wonderful baby shower..no one left your home hungry. Lovely pictures of you and your daughter
I adore the apron. Couldn't you just see Ms Pearl fighting over it with me. hahahaha

Have fun in your new wheels!!
Hi Julie! Now that was some baby shower! I'm afraid I'd have been hanging around the food table and not watching the opening of the gifts! It's lunch time here, and all that yummy stuff is spurring me to go get some fast food instead of eating my boring sandwich!
Enter me in your apron giveaway - I love vintage aprons in my little farmhouse! Very cute!!! I love the flowers on it. And please have a wonderful week out there in the beautiful cliffs!
Boy, everything sounds delish. That apron is adorable, too! I love purple!

Please enter me in your give away!
Hello dear friend -- hoping the sun is shining there cause it's shining here after so much rain and no sun -- I am thrilled..
I have never had Lemon pie filling in a macaroni salad -- ever -- well as far as I know -- I've gotta try this one for sure.
As for aprons -- I have a weakness for them -- they add a bit of fun to house work and kitchen duties!
Thanks
All of that food looks SO good! The croissant sandwich really caught my eye! Yum!
Oooh...lovely new car! I got some new wheels, too! Yay! My van had been dieing for months! ha.
Thank you for all of those great recipes. I love the gingham apron with little flowers. So sweet and reminds me of my childhood!
Dear Julie: Thank you for recipes..they came just in time for a weekend supper party for Father's Day...I think I remember the fabric in the apron from years ago...loved it then a love it now. (I think I had a dress made out of it) You are so sweet to share all the fun!!
Love, Marilee
The food looks amazing! Thanks for sharing the recipes :)

Hi Dear Julie! Oh, my goodness! What delectable goodies you have here! Thank you too for the recipes! I did love that cute diaper cake! I know everything was a success!
You know, I remember when you shared you had some lead parts in musicals! I would love to hear you! You're a blessing to me and I appreciate your sweet friendship.
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Hi, Julie...this all looks sooo good!! ummm. Thanks so much for all the great recipes. I must tell you that when my boy was little, his very favorite cake..Poke Cake.

Hello Sweet Julie,
I think I gained weight, just reading this decadent post....I want to make EVERYTHING...now...but ,alas it is late and this is the first day of the bathing suit diet...ok...salad week...and I don't mean ambrosia...although, I do love a little ambrosia...but not this week...
Now the apron is...
......D*E*L*I*C*I*O*U*S.....
...calorie free...and marvelous mauve...this, I would be guilt free ...love your SWEET WORLD...ROSIE
OK, it's either the SHINY NEW CAR or the sweet little apron...I'm not fussy...you decide
Thanks for the yummy recipes. All that pink food! Adorable! Looks like the shower was a success. Everything was so cute. Loved the diaper cake. So fun to have a party to celebrate a new little grandbaby. Mimi
The shower must have been fabulous. The food looks delicious -- I've served several of those same recipes at showers I've hosted too! I'd love to be in on the fun for the give-away. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to win such a fun prize!
looks like everyone had great food to eat the shower. thanks for the recipes. have a good day. rose
Hi Julie. Thanks for coming by to visit. I posted this response and wanted to be sure that you saw it. Keep the ideas coming. Your're right about the ease of access...I probably should have mentioned that I would not be planning to fill the whole wagon bed, like we would normally do with a table, but would make sure that things are set up close to the edges...that way, if needed, I can have access to 3 sides for a good flow when serving. It's funny that you mention the hay...I mentioned that to the husband and he just rolled his eyes...he hates dealing the the hay bales because he cannot see past the issues we have each year with our Halloween party...we have to haul the haybales, then have to cleanup after the party and 'dispose' of the bales, some of which have broken open and scattered across the ground. I might give him a break and try to work around a design without hay. I'm a giver, like that. =)
Julie~Your recipes sounds so good and look very easy to make, just the kind that I like!! Thank you for sharing them. :)
Also, that apron is adorable. I have quite the vintage apron collection but have not seen one with embroidered flowers. Lovely just lovely.
Have a great day!!
Fondly,
Ann

Jen
Julie, thank you for these great sounding recipe. I am just trying to get my menu completed for a party for my hubby here on Saturday. I am not sure what my problem is but I have been waffling on what to cook and there will be 60 people here on Saturday night. Yikes. These recipes are definite possibilities. Thank you again!
I guess my thing is I have most everything else done and have saved the cooking for last and 5 1/2 years in the Young Single Adult Ward recently has honed my big meal skills like nothing else. I know it will come together but ...I love having everything cast in cement at this point! Cannot wait until Sunday!
Take care, Julie!
Bonnie

Hi Sweetness!!!
Okay, the next time you give a shower, I'm crashing! OMG! I love all of these yummy treats. So sweet of you to share - you are a very giving spirit.

My, you get a lot of comments. You must be one of those famous bloggers.
I've lived in Kaysville for 20 years. My youngest son was in the last class to go to the old Davis and also attended at the new Davis. I think that was the class of '04. He was on junior committee and helped give tours of old Davis before it was torn down. My other sons graduated in '98 & '01.
You have a lovely home. It's in a beautiful location. My father-in-law grew up in Manti.
Those recipes look delicious. I am going to try the macaroni lemon salad. It looks really good! Have fun in your new car.
Those are some great recipes...I love all of the pink and the strawberries with brown sugar sound yummie as it is only 9:00 am here!! Love this apron, well I pretty much love all vintage aprons!! hope you are doing well, sorry I have been Mia, kinda silly over here!! xo
I love that pink salad and make it on special occasions. The rest of your recipes sound delish! I copied and pasted for my file. The pink apron is sweet! Happy for you getting a new car! Thanks for stopping by my blog today. I feel so out of touch being gone and now I have to do it all over again. Have a great week/weekend!
just found your blog. love that apron.
I making the cherry pie salad and was wondering if you use a 10 oz jar of maraschino cherries with or without the juice in the mixture. OR are those JUST for garnish. Could you comment on my blog and let me know! TIA
Oh my goodness! Those recipes are absolutely delicious, I AM going to make them this summer! You always have such yummy things to share with us!! Your posts always inspire me so keep 'em coming! Hugs!
OH' AND I LOVE YOU!!! so that should help too! wink wink!
I follow you too, does that help me at all!
Hello Julie~
First off CONGRATS on your new car, how fun!
GREAT RECIPES, AND PICS.
enter me sweets, I want to win one of your darling aprons... I love PINK! hUGS jENN
I cant wait to make some chicken salad...that looks really good....so does the car! good for you....
I missed this giveaway, darn it....next time...Melinda
That post below is adorable! Those shoes are the cutest things!!!!
I can't wait to try your recipes, especially the Fruit Cocktail Ambrosia Salad!
All of the food you served at the shower looked so YUMMY! Several of those recipes are tried and true favs of mine, too.
Summer is definitely here in the desert SW... getting VERY hot these days... the mornings and evenings are so nice.
I'm too late for the give away. I am too late for the recipes! They all sound fab delish...I think I gained weight reading this!
These are my favorite kinds of recipes. Fruity, yummy! I have never tried brown sugar on strawberries, but I will now! I love that apron. It is so sweet!
Oh goodness, that food makes me want to go make chicken salad on croissants. Meeting friends for dinner tonight, maybe I can order that. :) The shower looks like you really went all out. So sweet!
Such a darling apron! I have one of my grandmother's old purple and white gingham aprons, complete with chicken scratch embroidery at the bottom, stitched in a Greek key design.
The sherbert and pop (do you say soda out there? I'm from the Midwest, where we call it pop) numbers look terribly refreshing....I might have to give those a try soon. I'm thinking that raspberry sherbert with some Vernons (a local brand of Ginger Ale) would be rather good.
These recipes look so refreshing and cool. This Texas summer heat is already about to do me in! Thanks for posting them. The apron reminds me of a dress of my daughter's. Wish I had some from my grandmothers.
