Fruit Salad with Honey Lime Dressing

1 cup Cashews

For the Honey Lime Dressing:

Juice of 2 small limes (2 TB)
3 tablespoons honey

For the fruit:

1 sliced apple
1 1/2 cups sliced strawberries
1 sliced banana
chopped mint, for garnish-optional

1. To make the Honey Lime Dressing: In a medium bowl, whisk the lime juice, honey, and mint together until combined. Sometimes if the honey is a little stiff- heat up in the microwave to make it a little runny.

2. In a large bowl, combine cashews, apple, and strawberries. Pour honey lime dressing over the fruit salad and mix until well combined. Add the banana after stirring and only stir one or two times. Garnish with additional mint, if desired. Serve at room temperature or chilled.

Note-Use your favorite fruit in this salad. Blackberries, peaches, kiwi, raspberries, pineapple, grapes, etc. are great options!

Breakfast Sandwiches

1 lb pork breakfast sausage

6eggs, beaten

1 or 2 cans (10 ct each) Pillsbury refrigerated buttermilk biscuits

1 1/2 cups of shredded cheese

Salt and pepper to taste

1cup maple-flavored syrup, warmed

1.     Heat oven to 375°F. Spray 13x9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish with cooking spray.

2.     In large skillet, Cook sausage 8 minutes, stirring occasionally to crumble, until no longer pink. Add beaten eggs; cook, stirring frequently, until eggs are thickened but still moist. Add cheese very last. Remove from heat; season with salt and pepper.

3.     Separate each can of dough into 10 biscuits; flatten each biscuit into thin round. Spoon 1 heaping tablespoon egg mixture onto center of each round. Fold edges up and over filling; pinch to seal. Place biscuits, seam sides down, in baking dish.

4.     Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown. Serve biscuits warm with syrup.

Try adding a few fresh herbs, such as fresh basil or parsley, to the egg mixture.

Use your favorite breakfast sausage for this recipe—mild or flavored, patties, links (with casings removed) or sausage from a 1-lb roll.

or.. Instead of sausage, add crumbled cooked bacon.
