Strawberry Pie

Attempting a strawberry pie.

Thought I was gonna make this a few weeks back but when I got to the grocery all the strawberries were sold out! Just got to buying some last night so wish me luck.




Here's the recipe I'm gonna make:

Ingredients
2 (8 inch) pie shells, baked
2 1/2 quarts fresh strawberries
1 cup white sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 cup boiling water
1 (3 ounce) package strawberry flavored gelatin

Directions
1. In a saucepan, mix together the sugar and corn starch; make sure to blend corn starch in completely. Add boiling water, and cook over medium heat until mixture thickens. Remove from heat. Add gelatin mix, and stir until smooth. Let mixture cool to room temperature.
2. Place strawberries in baked pie shells; position berries with points facing up. Pour cooled gel mixture over strawberries.
3. Refrigerate until set. Serve with whipped cream, if desired.

Monday's Menu/Meal Plan Monday- Whatever

I can only go so long with this whole menu thing before I am ready to pop!
Ugh.
I just can't seem to love or even like cooking for more than a few weeks.
But...
I have 3 hungry mouths to feed,
and...
it is my responsibility to feed them,
so...
I press on.
Cooking, and cooking even when I want to eat a bowl of cereal and call it a day!

Haven't even given this weeks menu a thought.
I will and probably won't post it here but if I do, you'll know it!
Happy eats this week!

Product Review: Silicon Muffin Liners

I had my eye on these silicone muffins liners for quite some time. For a cost of $10 for a set of 12 I wasn't sure if I should take the plunge or not. Well about a month before Christmas I splurged and bought some, boy am I thrilled with them!

We make a lot of Blueberry Muffins and recently I discovered a very sugary Pecan Pie Muffin recipe. After baking I remove them off the baking sheet, use a knife to separate the muffins from the liner, flip on their side and pop the muffin out. No liner to throw away- just wash and reuse. If you make a lot of muffins or have been debating the switch I highly recommend it!
