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

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

TALYA BOERNER: SPICY CREAMED CARROTS AND CAULIFLOWER

Hey everyone! If you’re looking for a healthy, flavorful substitute for mashed potatoes, my recipe for spicy creamed carrots and cauliflower is a winner. It has a back-end spicy kick and very few calories. Hello, gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegetarian.

Yes, I like mashed potatoes with cream gravy just like the next normal person. I’m a fan of mashed sweet potatoes, too. But my spicy creamed carrots and cauliflower makes a tasty side dish without all the calories. Try it with roast chicken or grilled pork chops. Yum. READ MORE

AMANDA FARRIS: STRAWBERRY SALAD

Arkansas strawberries are ready so we have been eating all things strawberry at our house. Strawberry shortcake, strawberry salad, strawberry smoothies, strawberry muffins and anything else we can think of to put a strawberry in.

Strawberry stands are a huge part of my monthly budget this time of year. I just can’t stop myself from stopping at one to buy some local berries from local farmers. READ MORE
