Tasty Tuesday: Strawberry Season 2

 

 

TALYA BOERNER: NANA’S STRAWBERRY CAKE

Alrighty. After baking the worst strawberry cake ever for my son’s 21st birthday (read about it HERE , or we can just pretend it never happened…), I’m going back to our old family recipe. Nana’s Strawberry Cake. Straight from her vintage recipe box. READ MORE

 

 

AMY GRAMLICH: STRAWBERRY-PRETZEL DESSERT

One of my coworkers brings a yummy strawberry pretzel dessert to the teachers’ lounge for potlucks and at other times just because she’s awesome like that. For a while, I have been thinking I wanted to make it at home. I decided it would be a fun dessert to make with Scooter Britches for this month’s Kids’ Kitchen post. READ MORE

 

 

ANITA STAFFORD: STRAWBERRY MARGARITA CAKE

I know some people are anti-mix, but I think mixes can serve a great purpose when you need something good in a hurry. This cake utilizes a regular cake mix along with strawberry flavored margarita mix, and the result is amazing. This cake smells so wonderful, just like fresh strawberries. In fact, if you sliced a few fresh strawberries to garnish the top of the cake, no one would be the wiser, I’m sure. This cake is quick and easy to make, plus it is a taste pleaser. READ MORE

 

 

DEBBIE ARNOLD: STRAWBERRIES with LEMON CURD

When the Benton Junior Auxiliary published its Calico Cupboards cookbook, my recipe for Tart Lemon Jelly was included along with my homemade gingerbread. I loved the contrast of flavors of the lemon curd and the spiciness of the gingerbread together. Since then, I’ve used lemon curd in so many ways—crepes, trifles, and in this very simple dessert with fresh strawberries, homemade whipped cream. READ MORE

Just in time for your Easter celebrations:

Easter rolls Amy James

Amy James: Easter Rolls

We made these Easter Rolls last year and plan to do it again this year, but not until Easter weekend, so I’m re-posting last year’s recipe so you can have it now.  It’s a wonderfully simple illustration of the empty tomb, AND it’s a dessert…double duty! READ MORE

 

PEACH BBQ HAM LACIE RING

LACIE RING: BBQ PEACH GLAZED HAM {PJEats}

Complicated Easter menus are a thing of the past. This 3 ingredient BBQ Peach Glazed Ham usher in the BBQ season with ease. I leave the hard work to Petit Jean so I can focus on the side dishes. When the time changes and makes us spring forward, my mind automatically springs forward to BBQ season. I love pork and I love BBQ. Both are a must have in mine and my family’s life. READ MORE

 

KERI BUCCI: TOFFEE ALMOND BITES (low carb, sugar free)

My Toffee Almond Bites are the perfect sweet treat. These bite-sized candies combine the sweet taste of toffee with crunchy almonds and a creamy dark chocolate.  Not only are these little candies tasty, but they are so very simple to make with an option to make them with no special ingredients.

I love to have recipes like these Toffee Almond Bites up my sleeve when I need candy but I don’t have a lot of special ordered ingredients on hand. Not only can some special ingredients be hard to find, they don’t always fit into our budgets.  So that is why I am thankful that this recipe calls for just 5 basic ingredients I can find locally.

And nothing screams Spring more than a sweet, colorful dessert. We will have several family gatherings over the next few weeks, and I will definitely be serving this Rainbow No Bake Cheesecake.

Kaylyn Cavalier: Merry Merry Munchies {Foodie Friday}

Kaylyn 1To me, recipes are memories.

This recipe passed down from grandmother to granddaughter is host to countless scents, tastes, moments, and celebrations.

My fondest recollection of a recipe memory is my Mamaw’s Trash (or Chex Mix as it is more often called).  Having just celebrated Thanksgiving, I spent a lot of time last week remembering my Mamaw and her warm kitchen full of home canned goods, Schwan’s Ice Cream (hah!) in the freezer, and a yummy treat always waiting to be devoured.

Our entire family coveted the days my Mamaw made Trash. The house always smelled a little bit spicy, a little bit buttery, and a lot loved. She kept it in a huge Tupperware cake  “taker” turned upside down because it was the biggest container she could find. There was always Trash on the holidays, so I suppose that’s why I correlate the two so much!
