Lesson 21: Red, White & Blue
*I used the recipes for the Drinks and Strawberries from The Sisters Cafe. The link will take you to directions on the Layered Drinks.
The kids had a lot of fun making these recipes! Here's to our Patriotic Holidays and The USA!
1. Frozen Lemonade Pie with Berries
2. Layered Drinks
3. White Chocolate Dipped Strawberries with Blue Sugar
This Pie is great All year long! Holidays, Hot Summer Days, Special Occasions.
So I don't know what happened to January. Hmmm. I do know what happened in November. I made this pie for Thanksgiving. It was one of 6 different pies I made. The freshness of the strawberries and the tart of the orange gave this pie a nice change from the savory of the pumpkin pie and richness of the chocolate pie I made.
This pie would be excellent to make in the spring and summer when strawberries are at their peak. Plus, the filling is no-bake, so you don't need to heat your house on a hot summer day.
What a name. What a taste. For me this salad is like candy. So good, you don't even need dressing.
Frustrated. Beyond. Construction. Grrrrr. Had to complain. I understand why they need to fix the roads...but this is the 3rd year in a row they have fixed this particular one. Grrrr. And construction is EVERYWHERE! You can't take another road, because construction is happening there TOO. Ok, I am done.
Blogging. Been busy.
This salad I love. Let me tell you why. Blue Cheese. Yes. Caramelized Nuts. Yes. Fruit. Yes. All in a salad. Yes, yes yes! Love it all. And if you don't like blue cheese, use Feta or Mozzarella instead.
This is to die for. Well, don't die...but if it is the very last thing you eat before you die, you are SET!
Now, if it is one thing I like to make and eat as a sweet treat, it would be pie. It is the top choice of desserts for my husband too.
Pie is versatile. Make it for any time of the year, not just for the holidays. Having said that, every Thanksgiving I make between 8-10 different pies for dessert. Obviously, that is a popular time of year for pie.
This pie is not difficult to make. Yes, a little time consuming (with the cooling and chilling), but all in all...not bad. And let me tell you~A HUGE HIT! I made this for a party my Mom threw while I was visiting Maryland. Her friend Steve helped me slice and serve the pie...while I took pictures. Thanks Steve!
A family member said "This pie is amazing. Even the crust...I can't stop eating it". Or if you wanted to, you could eat some for dessert one night and have some for breakfast the next morning. That is what I did. It was even good for Breakfast!
Oh. Oh. Oh! You have to try this pie! I took 18 pictures...step by step, so you won't miss ANYTHING! AND I added a bit of my favorite spice to the custard...Cinnamon! It is perfect! Well, nothing is perfect. Life isn't perfect. This pie isn't perfect, such as cracks in the crust etc. But it seems pretty close to perfect (if there was such a thing).
So don't delay. Take a bite out of this pie!
