Strawberry Tarts | Ami Lee

Strawberries! What a wonderful berry indeed. Strawberries have certainly been a family favorite for years and years. We look forward to when local farmer’s markets start up and we’re able to buy some from our local growers. I took a quick trip to a local friend’s homestead to see how she’s getting her strawberries growing this year. She says that strawberries grow really great in containers but that they do just fine if you plant them in the ground.  READ MORE

Chocolate Covered Strawberry French Toast | Brittney Lee

 

Strawberry season is here! We love to go to a local farm and pick gallons at a time. Some we snack on, some we slice and freeze for later, and some end up in delicious recipes.  We make strawberry balsamic chicken salads, strawberry smoothies and other delights, but my favorites are the sweet treats. One of our Mother’s Day traditions is to go pick berries together (usually the Saturday before), so I wanted to create something that we could enjoy for brunch on the special day. Making brunch with a toddler requires some planning, and recipes that you throw in the oven are ideal. That’s where the chocolate covered strawberry baked French toast comes in. It comes together easily and bakes for 40 minutes, giving you time to get ready, set the table and welcome you guests to a warm sweet breakfast right out of the oven. READ MORE

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

Grilled poundcake with strawberries and basil is that special sweet something you need for your 4th of July celebration. This dessert is super simple to make, especially since you’re already planning to fire up your grill for the holiday. Right? READ MORE

 

JULIE KOHL: STRAWBERRY SKILLET CRISP

Yet there are few dishes that can satisfy the senses quite like my Strawberry Skillet Crisp. The berries are cooked to a warm, gooey perfection and the topping is sweet, crunchy and buttery. It’s like being wrapped in a hug by your grandmother with a single mouthful.

Best of all, this dessert cooks up great in a cast iron skillet and nothing says home cooking quite like a cast iron skillet. READ MORE

 

 

ANITA STAFFORD: STRAWBERRY MUFFINS

Fresh strawberries are an appealing fruit with numerous health benefits. Strawberries are in season and abundant right now, so they are a great choice for eating fresh or for using in recipes. This muffin recipe is rich with buttermilk, but not too sweet, allowing the strawberries to take center stage. I baked these for breakfast, but I predict I will be having another one for a snack later today. READ MORE

 

 

DEBBIE ARNOLD: BLUEBERRY, STRAWBERRY AND CHICKEN SALAD WITH BLUEBERRY VINAIGRETTE

Spring has finally arrived (I hope!) in Arkansas. Our strawberries are just finding their way into the local markets, and they’ll be finding their way into lots of dishes at our house. This Blueberry, Strawberry and Chicken Salad uses my  Blueberry-Basil Vinegar that I love, love.  (The blueberry pickles it makes are super added to your salad.) READ MORE
