Keith has always had a great love for life.
Here's Keith and his sister, Jenny, celebrating their April birthday's at dinner last Sunday.
Last night we went to the Diamondbacks game. They beat the Padres! They even had a firework show after the game. Thanks to Mom and Dad Jackson for taking all of us. What a great way to start a fun weekend of celebrating Keith's birthday!
Auntie Ann was there too!
Okay, so doesn't spring time just get you in the mood for yummy foods that are light and sweet? It does for me! This salad is the best! Every time I make it everybody raves and IT'S SO EASY! You just start with a bowl of green lettuce. Slice a bunch of strawberries and put them around the edges. Then cut up a lot of avocados into bite sized pieces and put them in the middle. Now is the fun part; the sugared almonds. Make them a little bit ahead of time so they can cool off. Put 1/3 - 1/2 cup sugar per 1 cup of slivered almonds into a pan on medium heat. Stir them around until the sugar starts to melt and then really stir them good until the sugar coats the almonds and they turn to a nice golden color. Spread them out on waxed paper to let them cool. Then sprinkle them around the edges of the salad. For the salad dressing, use Ken's Raspberry Walnut Dressing. Note that it is the "dressing" not the "vinaigrette." The vinaigrette is to runny and just falls off the salad. Let me know if you try it. I've been tagged by Whitney. Thanks Whitney! This time I've been tagged with info, not pictures. Here we go....
