Simple Delicious Recipes
Nothing says summer to me more than a cool crisp strawberry dessert. This Strawberry Ice Box Cake is something I have been making for years, way before I saw poke cakes on pinterest made with pudding. I am so old that pinterest didn’t exist when I came up with this yummy dessert….gasp lol. This cake is one of those cakes that you can bring to a gathering and it will be the first thing to go. It is so delicious but you don’t have to tell anyone how easy it is.

Whipped Strawberry Cream Cheese Butter is the perfect butter for anything that sits still. It is creamy ans sweetened with fresh strawberries . It’s funny how I get inspirations for recipes . Sometimes I try something and think of ways I could totally make it better. Then there are the times I just dream up crazy things and give it a try. Then there are the times I try things at a restaurant and want to recreate them on my own, this is the case for this recipe. A few years ago my husband and I went to San Antonio for the weekend. One morning we ate at a little place for breakfast where I got a fluffy Belgium waffle and it was amazing. It was served with a strawberry whipped butter and I fell in love with this delicious spread so much I opted not to use syrup. I adored how it was slightly sweet but didn’t give you a sugar rush like syrup. This inspired me to experiment with this concept at home. I went home and started working on recreating something similar.

Not all that long ago we didn’t have smartphones and if you didn’t want to stare at the walls reading the magazines on the tables was your option. When I was pregnant with my youngest child I came across a recipe in a magazine for a interesting coleslaw that had strawberries. Since I was a nice girl and didn’t rip the recipe out of the magazine all I had was my memory. I could remember strawberries , raisins and lemon juice, the rest I was on my own. So over the past 14 years and making this many many times I have tweaked this recipe and now this is the perfect Strawberry Lemon Coleslaw.
