Wow, it really has been awhile since I last posted on this blog. Forgive me! Between my daughter’s school play and potty training my 3 year old, life became a little more hectic than usual. On the bright side, my daughter made the cutest Dalmatian pup in her school play. One, two, three……awwwwww!
And we also discovered that super-hero underwear and bribery was all it took for my son to become potty trained (hurray for jelly beans!)
Thankfully, before chaos set into our household we had the chance to enjoy a wonderful Passover. I hope you all enjoyed time with your family and friends during the holiday as well. I could write a novel about all the beautiful traditions involved in celebrating Passover but I thought I would share one of my favorite family traditions. Delicious, glorious, Strawberry Fluff! It’s a wonderful strawberry sherbet type dessert that tastes great with my Mom’s Passover sponge cake. It even makes for a great breakfast…okay, that’s just me finding more reasons to indulge! But honestly, it is made with fresh strawberries so that clearly should count as part of a nutritious breakfast…right?
Strawberry Fluff is more than just a yummy dessert. It’s filled with a lot of memories. I remember helping my Mom strain the pureed strawberries and licking the escaped juice off of the spatula. Now, I have the joy of watching my own daughter help me make Strawberry Fluff. And guess what? I smile and pretend to look the other way when I see her little finger scrape the inside of the bowl. I’m quite sure my Mom did the same thing. J
This picture fills my heart with love!
And this picture just makes me hungry.
And unrelated to the Strawberry Fluff...check out the cutest Seder plate my brother and his wife sent to my kids! The missing shankbone is another story....let's just be thankful that there is a lovely cartoon image of it already on the plate.
As always, I invite you to share any stories or memories that come to mind. And remember, you are always welcome to share your stories with a post of your own!
