Mommy's been busy in the Kitchen

 I love when we start picking strawberries from our patch, but it gets a little overwhelming with what to do with the cups and cup of strawberries that will go bad in a couple of days. So with a little help from old recipes and allrecipes.com, momma's been a busy girl and daddy has been one happy man :)

First Concoction (last night's dessert): Strawberry glaze pie- DELICIOUS! We ate 3/4 of the pie in one sitting- oops there goes Weight Watchers out the window for this week!!! This used up around 4 cups of berries.

Second Concoction: Strawberry Freezer Jam. YUM!!!!! We shouldn't have to buy any jelly or jam anytime soon :) This used up around 3 cups of berries.

Third Concoction: Strawberry Bread. We had never tried this before and though it's pretty good, it could use more berries in it.... note to self for next year. Used around 3 cups of berries.

Fourth Concoction (and tonight's dessert):Strawberry Shortcake- yummmm! We each had a cup of berries, so we used around 2 cups of berries.

And you can't forget the strawberry spinach salads and bowls of plain strawberries we have been having too! So far, in less then 24 hours we had eaten/baked around 14 cups of strawberries. And not exaggerating we have about 8 more cups in the refrigerator and with the rain that we are getting now, I am sure more strawberries will be waiting for us in the patch tomorrow.

On the agenda for using the berries tomorrow: Strawberry Pretzel Pie, Strawberry Syrup (Breakfast for Dinner!) and possibly more jam- we will see how many we "harvest" tomorrow!

Much Love and I might turn red,
Jenny
