Hatti's Strawberry Chiller

With summer upon us and fresh fruit abounding, I am always trying to find new recipes to use these treasures.  We have made fruit pizza, many different smoothies, zucchini and banana fruit bread, etc.  This week I happened to come across some wonderful strawberries recipes.  This one was a very simple  and refreshing drink the kids loved.  Great way to use up those strawberries as well as a  healthy afternoon snack for the family! (Sorry about the picture, very hard to photograph beverages!)


Hatti's Strawberry Chiller

INGREDIENTS

3/4 c. strawberry puree (just blend fresh strawberries in blender)
1/2 c. freshly squeezed orange juice
1/8 c. freshly squeezed lime juice (she used 1/4 cup)
1 T. honey
1/2 c. crushed ice
fresh lime wedge and a whole strawberry, optional garnish


PREPARATION

Combine the strawberry puree, orange juice, lime juice, and honey in a blender. You can use the same blender pitcher you pureed the strawberries in, without needing to clean it up in between jobs. Pulse a couple times to combine. Then add the crushed ice and blend until ice pieces are broken up and small. Pour into a 12-ounce glass. Garnish with a fresh lime wedge and whole strawberry, if desired.

Yield: 1 12-ounce drink

Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps

I am always looking for fast, easy and nutritious meals for my busy weeknight meals.  These wraps have become one of our family favorites.  We serve these with a side of wontons or potstickers to complete the meal. The filling can be made ahead of time and reheated if your day is extra busy. Bibb lettuce is our favorite, but feel free to use iceberg or even romaine for this dish. I hope you enjoy these as much as we do!

Glazed Lemon Loaf Cake

Ever since getting a slice of Lemon Cake from Starbucks a few years back I have been on a quest to find a good copycat recipe.  I've tried several and they were all fine, but this cake is officially the winner.  My search is over! I seriously could not imagine a more perfect lemon cake.   Lemon flavor shines throughout the cake, but the real punch of flavor comes from the delectable glaze. The cake itself is so moist yet fluffy and tender at the same time.  It's like a ray of sunshine on a cold winter's day!

Bakery style Strawberry Muffins

New recipe! Can you even believe it?! Kirsti and I decided we need to get back in the habit of sharing our favorite recipes by sharing at least one a month so here you go:   I’m starting off with these scrumptious strawberry muffins. Extra large and fluffy, these muffins are bursting with strawberry bits and topped with the most delicious strawberry glaze. If you end up with extra glaze, go ahead and drizzle some extra.  No judgement here :)   Even if you already love the previous strawberry muffins on our blog, you need to try these- they are the only ones I'll be making from here on out.  They're that good!
