Fruit Pizza



For July 4th, I decided to make a fruit pizza. I have made them before, but it has been years. It was so delicious and has become one of our favorite things. Troy talks about it all the time and always asks me to make another one! They are super easy too---just roll out sugar cookie dough into a big circle and bake. Make the "sauce" from cream cheese (I used fat free and it tasted just as good) mixed with sugar and vanilla to taste, and then top with your favorite fruit. Chill for a few hours until it is cold and then enjoy!

Greenville

Troy and I were able to go to Greenville a few weeks ago. We have been a few times before, and I have to say this is one of my favorite cities. I love everything about it! Troy had a certification class on a Saturday from 8-5, so we went up Friday night. We got a great deal on a hotel that was super nice with a separate "living area" (I love staying in hotels--I'm a little weird like that!)
The next day I dropped him off and went exploring by myself. I went downtown to hang out. They have such a beautiful downtown--lots of trees and pretty architecture, and lots of family friendly stores and restaurants. I went to the Farmer's Market they had that morning and got a few things. I got blueberries, corn, beans, and a loaf of Great Harvest bread (the best bread in the world. I wish they had one here). I was really excited to have a great meal, but sadly, the beans were awful and the corn was just okay. Oh well. They had 3 girls playing music in the middle of the market. I sat down for a while and listened and just enjoyed the atmosphere.









Then I wandered over to the park in the middle of downtown. It is beautiful! I could have spent all day at the park. We had a great time and I can't wait until we can go back to Greenville.
