Creamy Fruit Salad – Countdown to Thanksgiving

Close to where I spent my teenage years is a meat market and bakery called Landes Meats.  The owners are German Baptists.  The food there is incredible!  In fact, I have a mile-long list of favorite foods from there.

It’s not far from where I work now, but in the opposite direction from where I need to go home, so the visits to Landes Meats are few and far between.

One of my favorites is the Creamy Fruit Salad.  I usually buy two salad containers and savor them for days afterward.  Since I can’t get there often, I decided to recreate one of my favorites.

Once you try it, you’ll see why it’s one of my favorite fruit salads.
