Strawberries

April 26, 2011 by Aliesha

As I mentioned before, we picked a bunch of strawberries last week! 

lots and LOTS of berries!

Here’s what I made with them:
-10 half-pint jars of freezer jam
-10 baby food jars of freezer jam
-several other miscellaneous containers of freezer jam
-4 bags crushed strawberries (2 cups each – enough to make 4 more batches of freezer jam)
-4 bags sliced strawberries (1 cup each – for fruit salads, desserts, etc.)
-1 batch of strawberry ice cream

And we had all the strawberries we could eat!  We still have a bowl in the fridge we’re working on. 

Do you have strawberries yet where you live?  Do you eat them all or do you preserve them?

Current Favorite Cookbook

March 21, 2011 by Aliesha

Okay, I’ll admit it. I read cookbooks for fun!  I also love browsing awesome recipe blogs like Our Best Bites.  Recently, Sarah and Kate published their first cookbook, also called Our Best Bites. I love that they went from being bloggers to being published authors!  I tried to wait for a gift-giving occasion where I could ask for this cookbook as a present, but I just couldn’t wait that long.  I bought it using a gift card to Amazon I earned using Swagbucks. 

This cookbook is filled with bright pictures and wonderful recipes.  Everything I have made from Our Best Bites (the blog and the book) has been completely delicious!  Some of my favorite recipes in the book are:

  • Caramel Toffee Fruit Dip
  • Black Beans
  • Slow-Cooker French Dip Sandwiches
  • Cheesy Garlic Bread Swirls
  • Chicken Cacciatore 
  • Garlic Bread Seasoning
  • Roasted Garlic
  • Oven-Roasted Tomatoes
  • Roasted Garlic-Rosemary Potatoes

I have an even longer list of recipes I can’t wait to try!

There are also some great tutorials in the cookbook, such as “how to cut a mango,” “how to make pizza on the grill,” and “how to roast garlic cloves.”

I highly recommend this cookbook to anyone who loves to eat!

*I was not paid or perked in any way to write this review. I’m just sharing a book I love!
