Today I have a few recipes that I posted last year, but they are some of my favorite “Spring” recipes so I thought that it would be fun to share them again here:
This first recipe is my husband’s absolute, most favorite dessert!
This is the one that he requests whenever I ask him what he wants to have for dessert. And this is what he gets every year for Father’s Day!

I have a couple of Valentines projects that I am in the process of working on…but decided that I would do a roundup of some of my previous Valentines ideas for you to look at right now!
These are in no particular order and there are recipes, crafts, printables, candy, cookies and all kinds of goodies for you!
Just click on the link for the “how to” for each of them.
Here is another recipe from our 4th of July party. It really does live up to it’s name as in EASY! It is a very pretty pie and makes a great presentation! This would be great for any summer gathering!
OK, one of my DIL’s gave me this recipe and it is to die for good! It is definitely a girl food, so this would be perfect for Mother’s Day, Showers, Bunco, Book Clubs and the Brunches that will be coming up this spring and summer.
I had a couple of cute little helpers at my house yesterday, so I decided that it would be a good day to make mini donuts. I wanted to try a new kind…Strawberry. So I just kind of made up a recipe, they turned out OK, but I wish that I had added more strawberries or at least some kind of strawberry flavoring. But they got eaten pretty darn fast, so I guess that no one else cared that they didn’t have more strawberry flavor!

My husband and I have been gone on vacation for the last week or so and now it is time to come back to reality and the real life. Ugh. We had a great time in Sunny Arizona and enjoyed many fun activities like spring baseball training, shopping, sunny skies, shopping, eating out, shopping, going to the fruit stands, shopping…OK I think you get the picture! I will do a post later about some of my fun finds!
But I had a major computer disaster and ended up buying a brand new computer when we got home! It is a pain trying to re-load everything onto a new computer, but it is so fun to have a new, clean, faster computer! So now this is my first post on my new computer and it is great.
My husband and I have made this trip to AZ every year now for about 7-8 years. It is something that we both look forward to. My husband loves all the Spring Training baseball games and I love being in the warm (hot) weather so it is a great match! We have gotten so that we know the area pretty good and are learning all the road names and how to get around the Phoenix area. One of my favorite places to go every year is a big fruit market called Superstition Market. They have so many different fruits and veggies for so cheap it makes my head spin! I would totally go here every week if I lived anywhere around there! So I had to load up with all kinds of goodies to bring home. It was great!

We celebrated a couple of birthdays last night and they were both of the male species so we had grilled hamburgers, potato salad, baked beans and chips in their honor and then I made these wonderful Heavenly Filled Strawberries for those of us of the female species! Although the male species ate just as many if not more than the female. Not that I was counting! :)
I saw fresh strawberries at the store yesterday and they just looked so good to my poor fresh fruit deprived soul that I bought them and I knew immediately what I wanted to do with them! I love this recipe because their is no guilt involved in eating them! If you are a Weight Watchers person then you will love these because they are zero points! It doesn’t get any better than this folks!
As everyone is enjoying pumpkin and cinnamon this fall:
(isn’t my maple tree gorgeous this year?)
I am still enjoying fresh strawberries!
My fall berries have been unbelievable this year! They are quite large and very, very sweet! I have been getting a bowlful like this every 4-5 days! I have shared with neighbors and friends, but mostly I just eat them myself, right out of the bowl! That is… if I can beat my grandson to them, he is a little strawberry monster!
But I am afraid that all good things must come to an end. We are expecting our first hard frost of the season. But luckily I have frozen quite a few bags of strawberries so we can enjoy them all winter!
