LaPiS: Shades of Spring and Summer

May 4, 2009 · 9 Comments

A hearty beach picnic…long, tall and refreshing drinks…plump, juicy fruits…freshly-picked vegetables…

These are the usual images that come to my mind whenever I think “spring and summer foodie thoughts” :)

And I think these photos will give you an inkling of what I mean… ;)

It’s a bit ironic though that I actually took a photo of these veggies during winter – hahaha! :mrgreen:

I would’ve preferred taking a photo of the salad sans the fresh orange juice so that the cut-up fruits (in this case, I used gala apples, bananas, mandarin orange wedges and strawberries) would be more visible… :neutral:   Was supposed to do a “re-take” of this but couldn’t – since strawberries were unfortunately not available during my last trip to the grocery (*sigh*).  Anyway, I found that this is one delicious way of making the kids eat fruits – and a variety of it, to boot! ;) Incidentally, bet you’d never guess where I got this recipe? While watching a presenter introduce the next show in  BBC’s Cee-Beebies - hahaha! :lol:

Pardon the delayed post since I’ve been having some trouble uploading pics to this site lately… :(

A belated happy LaPiS to all! :D

    uy, that’s very healthy ha! i haven’t ever tried putting together a fresh fruit salad. kasi we always end up snacking on the fruits. hee hee. :D

    That means you don’t even have to make the salad – since you guys obviously enjoy your fruits as is! Lucky you! :D

    beautiful photo of veggies! And yes, to get a variety of fruits into kids, making it into a salad is always a hit :)

    Thanks, JMom! :mrgreen:

    I love taking pictures of produce in my Asian grocery. The people who work there don’t mind.:)

    I’m sure they won’t, Oggi… wouldn’t risk losing one of their “sukis” after all, right? Hehehe ;)

    Go Cbeebies! Fresh fruit Salad! Yummy!!!

    Thanks, Twinx! Unfortunately though, the morning programming schedule at the BBC channel in our cable seems to have changed so I’m now at a loss as to when CBeebies is – waaahhh!!! :( Tama bang ako pa ang mas affected kesa kay Marga? ;) Hehehe

    Go on and “scratch” that itch, Jescel… am sure your fam will live you more for it – hahaha! :lol:

    Wow, sarap niyan, very refreshing :)

    Thanks, Julie! Family fave na namin itong salad na ito admittedly… and I don’t mind a bit since it’s certainly the healthier alternative to the rich, cream-based fruit salad we Pinoys are used to. :)

    hihi…I bet the winter fruits are from brazil and the south americas! But the veggies, locally grown ;) Love the colors…

    Para din palang KSA sa Austria – mahilig nag-import! Hahaha! :lol: Thanks, G!
