SUMMER FUN with FRESH FRUIT

PIZZA W

hen it comes to summer desserts, if you want to really razzle dazzle guests at your next party, think pizza - fruit pizza, that is. Kids and adults alike are wowed by this special dessert. And it couldn't be simpler to make.

Using a sugar cookie base, spread with a cream cheese-sour cream topping, arrange colourful red and black grapes, along with kiwi slices, in a pretty pattern. To serve, slice it just as you would a regular pizza. If you want to add extra fun to your party, make several small personal-size pizzas and let kids get creative with their own designs using the grapes and kiwi. Don't be surprised if adults decide to jump in and decorate their own pizzas, too. After all, who wants to miss out on summer fun?

Where’s the best location for fun festivities for the whole family? The answer of course is at the 44th Annual Streetsville Founders’ Bread & Honey Festival that was held the weekend of June 3 - 5th Saturday morning started with the highly enjoyed, village-wide Parade and ended on Sunday with an Old Fashioned Car Show.

There were many talented live performers for children and adults, alike, a wide selection of carnival rides, games and hands-on educational demonstrations for the whole family, the Rotary Pancake Breakfast … and of course, FREE Bread and Honey.
