You are in for a summer treat!

Strawberry Sherbet

This Strawberry Sherbet is as simple as it gets for a refreshing summer treat! 3 ingredients and you have yourself the perfect dessert.

Even though today in the DMV it’s chilly and rainy that does not stop me from dreaming of pools, parties, and picnics. 

If you stop and think about it; when was the last time you actually grabbed a checkered blanket, a basket, some sandwiches, and a pretty place to park your butt to enjoy a relaxing lunch with someone special? I know it has been quite some time for me that’s for sure. 

Picnics have come so far and most people serve way more than a bologna and cheese sandwich with a bag of chips. Since our lives are so hectic these days, we can rarely plan and execute something so intimate; so when it’s possible, you have to make it memorable. 

Homemade Strawberry Sherbet is the highlight of today’s recipe and has only three simple ingredients to whip up this homemade dessert in just a short time. Prepare it first thing in the morning, freeze it, and enjoy it when you are ready. 

This recipe uses some inexpensive ingredients that are flavorful and brings back all the beautiful childhood memories of spending summers outside, dripping a popsicle all over your clothes from the neighborhood ice cream truck. 

Strawberry Sherbet Ingredients

This easy strawberry sherbet is made using Strawberry Jell-O mix, lemon juice, and heavy whipping cream. Could it get any easier than this? 

• heavy whipping cream
• a packet of strawberry Jell-O mix
• freshly squeezed lemon juice

Hello everyone, and welcome to a new recipe that will become your favorite summer dessert. When I think of summer, my mind goes right to a few specific flavors I love and build recipes around because they represent the warmer months. Some of those flavors include fresh-picked berries, tangy citrus, and of course, coconut.

I made these peanut butter high hat cupcakes this weekend for a small surprise graduation party we were hosting at our place. The graduate didn’t want a party but her mother and I threw her a small get-together anyway to celebrate her Master’s Degree!!

These cupcakes are also called hi-hat cupcakes. What do you call them?

Hey there friends! Summer has so many benefits and one of my favorites is spending time with my family picking fresh veggies and fruits. I know we can all agree that fresh is better when it comes to creating flavorful desserts. My family and I just went to a local strawberry field and picked about 25 lbs of fresh strawberries. If you have ever gone to pick your own food, then you know you always leave with way more than you anticipated once you finally make it to the checkout line.
