July is such a fun month to make food match the season. It is the start of summer and the great holiday of our nations birth – 4th of July. That gives us a lot of ideas for decorating our homes and food!


Themed food is even more fun. I remember making angel food cake each July 4th and decorating the cake with whipped cream icing, blueberries, and strawberries so that we had a red, white and blue desert. We would split the cake in half, mix the whipped cream with a couple of smashed strawberries making the whipped cream pink and put that layer of whipped cream in the middle. Then cover the whole cake with the white whipped cream. It was always fun decorating the outside with the fruit and trying to create the most beautiful design. Now you can get those Angel food cake box mixes so they are extremely easy to make – usually with a Bundt pan. It’s a delicious desert and the kids can get involved by decorating. Give it a try this season.


Another great recipe is to make a watermelon, arugala, blueberry and feta cheese salad. This makes a statement! Looks like a flag! And when ready to eat you mix it all together and eat – its yummy! You can use any dressing you like.


Get creative this coming season in the kitchen and involved those kids in the process, start a tradition with them – they will carry those memories forever!

Sweet and Sour: How You Look at Things Positivity


Did anyone ever tell you the glass is half full? Somebody told me once it depends whether you’re pouring or drinking. Seriously, though, if you can figure out how to get optimistic and stay that way, you’re home free. I’m not saying your problems are over, but simply looking at the world through rose-colored specs means that half your problems will look like exciting challenges, and the other half you’ll probably realize aren’t problems at all, just facts of life. From Lemons to Lemonade by Addie Johnson


Where’d That Phrase Come From? Back to square one


When Milton Bradley introduced the board game Chutes and Ladders to Americans in 1943, it was an instant classic. Based on a game played in ancient India, the version that most of us know today uses a game board on which is printed a checkered pattern of squares numbered one through 99. Throughout this pattern runs a series of winding chutes and ladders. Purely a game of chance, players take turns rolling a single die and moving their pieces with the hope of avoiding those squares that will force them down a chute and, thus, back several spaces. In time, people started associating the board’s numerical sequence of squares (namely square one) with the notion of starting something over again or going back to the beginning. “The rocket’s design proved totally flawed after testing, and the scientists found themselves back at square one.” - By Michael Williams, Erickson Living Tribune
