No-Bake Strawberry Icebox Cake

This so easy and tastes so yummy. You can drizzle chocolate on the top but I left it off to give it a lighter summery feel. :)

Ingredients:
3lbs fresh strawberries, sliced
2-8oz tubs of whipped topping
1 box of graham crackers
1/4 cup chocolate chips


Spread a small amount of the whipped topping onto the bottom of a 9x13 pan. Put a layer of graham crackers on top of the whipped topping. Add another layer of whipped topping and put a layer of strawberries. Repeat this 3 more times until there are 4 layers of graham crackers. The layer last on top will be strawberries.

if you want to use the chocolate chips put them in a plastic bag and melt them in the microwave at 10 second intervals. Cut the corner of the bag and drizzle over top the cake.

Refrigerate covered for at least 4 hours or until the crackers have softened completely.

Healthy Strawberry Muffin Recipe

Ingredients:
2 1/2 oats, old-fashioned kind not the quick oats
1 cup low fat plain Greek yogurt
2 eggs
1/2 cup baking stevia or 1 cup of sweetener that measures like sugar
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 cup strawberries, diced and patted dry


Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a 12 muffin pan with either silicone liners or tin ones as this will stick to the paper ones. Place all the ingredients except for the strawberries into blender or food processor and blend until oats are smooth. Pour into a medium bowl and mix in the strawberries. Pour into liners and bake for 20-25 minutes.

How to Make Red, White, & Blue Fruit Kabobs

These fruit kabobs are such a pretty food to make for the 4th of July. You could have the kids make them to let them feel involved in the cooking process for a party. 

Ingredients:
mini star marshmallows
raspberries
blueberries
strawberries- cut in halves or quartered
wooden skewers


Take the ingredients and layer them onto each skewer. I would start each of them with at least 1 blueberry the other fruits slide of the skewers otherwise. I also wouldn't start with a marshmallow because when you slide it down the skewer it rips apart if there isnt any berry juice to help slide it along.

How to Make Cheesecake Filled Strawberries

These are so delicious, I almost ate the whole batch when I made them LOL. You will definitely want to make these all the time. Especially since they are so fast and easy to make :)


Ingredients:
1lb strawberries
8oz cream cheese, softened
3-4 tsp powdered sugar, if you want a sweeter filling use 4 tsp
1tsp vanilla
graham cracker crumbs


To prepare the strawberries, cut off the tops and hollow them out with a paring knife if they aren't already hollow. Set them aside.

In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until its creamy.


Spoon the cream cheese mixture into a piping bag or a zip lock bag with one of the corners cut off.

Fill the strawberries with the cream cheese mixture.

Then dip the tops of the strawberries into the graham cracker crumbs.


Chill in the refridgerator before serving.
