Jen This week I challenged everyone to use strawberries! Originally I was planning on making strawberry pie, but with the whole coronavirus – social distancing – grocery store wiped out thing, I didn’t have all the resources I needed. I did have 1 pint of strawberries to work with, and a pre-made shortbread pie crust that was a bit crumbly. I decided to make a strawberry gelatin using Knox unflavored gelatine, hot water, sugar, crushed strawberries, red food coloring, and sliced strawberries. After it set, I broke up the pie crust as a topping. I don’t really know what to call it – maybe “strawberry disaster”, except that it was good. My husband said it was oddly satisfying. 😊 Amanda Nikita I shipped my donut pan from the US to Bulgaria and have been looking for a reason to make donuts. Strawberries make a beautifully sweet morning breakfast, and these come together in 30 mins. My only struggle is the powdered sugar here is not as fine as the powdered sugar in the US. I keep running into the problem that my icing or frosting is a bit grainy. I'm looking for suggestions to correct this because different brands of powdered sugar hasn't seemed to help. If you're stateside though, you shouldn't have any issues making this simple glaze. The donuts were soft, sweet, and a bit warm when I began to nom nom on my share. If you don't have a donut pan, do yourself a favor and buy one. They're like $7-ish. Well worth the money, then give this recipe a try. Amy Georgia Um.. I don' know. My salad looks healthy. Nikita and Jen know where it's at. But. This salad was super yummy and very healthy for you. Spinach / arugula mix/ avocado, sliced almonds, fresh strawberries and a homemade dressing I used the rest of the strawberries on some scones. But you'll have to come back tomorrow for that Strawberry disaster looks like a win to me. Strawberry donuts!! And strawberry salad. Sounds like a well balanced meal.
Until next week! Jen, Amanda, Nikita, Amy and Georgia
