I enjoy cooking simple and tasty dishes, especially ones with healthy ingredients.

A Fun and Refreshing Summer Dish

This easy-to-make egg noodle, pineapple and fruit cocktail casserole is full of color and flavor. It makes for a refreshing cold summer dish, but can be enjoyed warm or cold year-round. It will surely be well-received at summer picnics and family gatherings.

For a final splash of fun and color, add red cherries on top!
