The end is near!

Strawberry Summer Cake and a Cuppa

A beauty!
 Strawberry season is here and we have been enjoying it!  I made this tasty dish earlier in the week and it was amazing and easy!  I found the recipe on one of my favourite blogs.  Here is a link- I recommend trying it for sure! http://smittenkitchen.com/2011/05/strawberry-summer-cake/  I am looking forward to visiting Andrew' Scenic Acres for strawberry picking- I hope to make a pie and some freezer jam.
I also participated in the Trail of crumbs bake exchange and our theme this month was strawberries, as well.  I made Strawberry-Shortcake cookies.  Very nice!  I found them on Martha Stewart's site:  http://www.marthastewart.com/315652/strawberry-shortcake-cookies  They went so fast that there was no opportunity for a photo.  I think that is a good sign!

It's been another week of playing catch-up!  The boys are almost done with school and I am almost done my post vacation organizing.  I just started to look through the photos that we took, but am nowhere close to making an album or anything.  I kinda miss the days when you just dropped off the roll and picked it up a few days later.  Now that we can view everything on the computer, we never make hard copies. I miss flipping through the photos manually...
I've been pretty busy in the kitchen this week and am getting ready to bake some cookies for the boys' year end party today.  I found a great recipes for chocolate chip cookies on a stick and I will fancy them up by throwing in some smarties.  I blabbed about them to some moms at school so there is no turning back now!
