Strawberry Shortbread Pie & Giveaway

:: Strawberry Shortbread Pie & Giveaway ::

Okay, so I am going to date Sara and I with this Strawberry Shortbread Pie Recipe.  We don’t talk about our age, but let’s say besides Sara being my favorite red head; Strawberry Shortcake was mine as a kid.  Luckily our girls have been able to experience one of our favorite childhood characters. Strawberry Shortcake and Cabbage Patch Kids were a big deal at the age of 5.  In fact because of Strawberry Shortcake, I had asked for a Strawberry Cake for my 6th birthday party.  From then on I loved everything that was strawberry. This Strawberry Shortbread Pie is an ode to all things strawberry.  These little red berries make me happy and their sweetness makes for a winning combination with Walkers Shortbread Round Cookies.  The mixture of the two makes for an awesome yet simple spring time pie!

Strawberry Shortbread Pie

We are a little blessed to experience these magical berries for most of the year.  Sometimes we forget that strawberries aren’t as readily available to most of the country until the summer.  Strawberries honestly, {besides all the talk of Strawberry Shortcake talk} have been a big part of my life. My Grandma Joan was a Californian Native.  She was a fourth generation Californian.  Making her family here in the state long before it was even a state.  She had a fondness for strawberries.  She liked to bake with them and she grew them in her backyard.  My sister and I loved to see the little white flowers turn into red berries.  Picking them and eating them straight from her garden was our favorite part.

In fact in a way this recipe is dedicated to her. It is my Grandma’s Strawberry Pie Recipe. I hope you enjoy it….

Strawberry Delight Appetizer

:: Strawberry Delight Appetizer ::

Who doesn’t love an easy summer appetizer, especially one that entails strawberries and cream cheese?  This appetizer as I deem Strawberry Delight, truly is a simple delight.  The ingredients that are combined to make this savory yet sweet appetizer are a great edition to your next party.  This appetizer has been a go to for far too many years to count.  As food generally has a story, this appetizer tells the story of my life with my girlfriends and roommates back during my early twenties.  Such fond and fun memories of 4th of July’s, beach days, roller skates, and boat parades.  What I believe to be most fun is this recipe was passed my way from my dear friend, Stephanie.  I had one of these bite sized Strawberry Delight Appetizer’s at one of her fun family parties.  It was from then on, we made this yummy recipe at every event we hosted or toasted to, not to mention it’s great with a glass of champagne.
