Strawberry Poppy Seed Salad

Posted by Lori:
Saturday my daughter and I had the privilege of attending a Ladies' Day Tea in Durant, Oklahoma. The decorations were beautiful and the food was delicious! If you are interested in seeing more pictures, please visit my devotional blog here.

I planned to ask for some of the recipes, but I didn't have to. My daughter opened up here program and almost all of the recipes were printed inside. It's as if the sweet ladies of the Northwest church of Christ knew we were going to want all of those recipes! (I'm pretty sure that's because we usually ask for great recipes, don't you???). So, I'll be sharing these recipes with you in the next few weeks.
