Why Honey Roasted Strawberries?

You might be wondering, "What’s the big deal about roasting strawberries?" When you roast strawberries, they transform into a caramelized, syrupy delight that enhances their natural sweetness. Plus, honey brings a touch of magic—it's not just tasty but also packs a punch of antioxidants and has anti-inflammatory properties. Combine that with the juicy goodness of strawberries, and you've got a match made in healthy heaven…

Spinach & Strawberry Salad

March 27, 2023 Amanda Plott

Yes, I'm a huge salad fan. I love all the veggies and different ways to dress up your leafy greens with one dressing or another. Plus, there's just something refreshing about indulging in a crisp cool salad when it's upwards of 80... 90... 100 degrees. Which we’ve already gone over 80 here!

So I guess what I'm saying is... be prepared for the montage of salad recipes that are sure to come this way through the next few months. Strawberry and spinach salad is actually one of my old favorites. I think it was one of the first salads that I ever had feta cheese on. It could even be when I fell in love with feta cheese…

PB&J Rice Cake

Peanut butter and jelly at it’s snacking finest with this PB&J Rice Cake! I found these fun rice cakes recently that are shaped and textured a bit differently than the old school ones so I picked a few of the strawberry flavored ones up. But then it’s - what to do with them. Well, when I think strawberries, I tend to think of strawberry jam. And when I think of strawberry jam, I think of PB&Js!

This PB&J Rice Cake is a fun take on a PB&J that is lighter and pretty filling too. It would be great as an afternoon or after school snack, or even as a part of a light lunch! So, it starts out with a strawberry rice cake on the bottom which is covered with some peanut butter and then topped off with fresh strawberries, peanuts, and some strawberry jam too…

Instant Pot Strawberry Shortcake Cheesecake Bites

February 24, 2023 Amanda Plott

I know that I’ve made mini cheesecakes in the instant pot before, but I still have some strawberry powder and strawberry cheesecake crumbs that I need to use up and for whatever ever reason it just seemed fitting to put them together in these Instant Pot Strawberry Shortcake Cheesecake Bites.

The way I was able to pack so much strawberry flavor into these cheesecakes was to use a strawberry powder. It’s basically freeze dried strawberries that have been ground down to a fine powder. That’s it. That’s all. Nothing more added than that - no added colors or artificial flavors there. Just pure strawberry goodness!…
