Strawberry Butter

My kids really love homemade bread and rolls.  So for Easter this year I needed to make something special to go with those homemade rolls.  We have been blessed to have wonderful strawberries here so I decided to try and use them up by making strawberry butter.  It looked really pretty on the table and the taste was wonderful.  I think I might try raspberry or blueberry next time!





Strawberry Butter
adapted from  http://lynn-southernwithatwist.blogspot.com

2 sticks Butter, softened
3/4 cup 10X Sugar
1 tsp vanilla
16 oz fresh Strawberries*

Blend in a blender or processor until very smooth, this will take time and patience.  My suggestion is to cream the butter first, then slowly add the strawberries and vanilla.  Store in refrigerator.
*Remember to always taste your berries for sweetness. Some may need more sugar than others.

Chicken Salad Sandwiches with Fruit and Almonds

Chicken salad sandwiches seem to be the go to item for baby and bridal showers.  I wanted to make some for the baby shower, but had a dillema.   While I like the main components in the salad, I really do not like the taste of raw onions and celery.  However, I still wanted some crunch and flavor in the salad.

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!

Best Ever Chocolate Chip Cookies

The name says it all. These cookies are my (and my husband's) favorite cookies! Not just your average chocolate chip cookies, these babies come out of the oven with a slightly crisp outside while still remaining soft on the inside. Use Ghiradelli Milk Chocolate Chips and you will have achieved chocolate chip cookie perfection!
