Lately I’ve been trying to soak up these wonderful days of summer with eating as much fresh fruit as possible. One of my favorite childhood memories is going to eat at Aladdin’s overlooking the Erie Canal in upstate New York and ordering their Fruit & Nut Plate. The simplicity of fresh fruit, layered with plain yogurt and walnuts, and then drizzled with honey was so refreshing on a hot summer day. Since I no longer live near that restaurant, I started assembling my own Fruit, Nut, and Honey Yogurt Bowl. The honeyed yogurt transforms the plain fruit and nuts into such a treat. We often have this along with some cheese and crackers for a simple and beautiful lunch.

As soon as I saw this picture on your front page, I thought of Aladdin’s – I went to college near an Aladdin’s and this was one of everyone’s favorite dishes there. It’s so simple yet so good. Thanks for reminding me of it!

So fun, Allie! So great to “meet” someone else who’s been there!
