cute kids, recipes, and rolls

The end of this week has quickly approached and I am feeling a bit tired from an extra busy week. :/ I have a feeling my housewife sleeping late days are over. There is always plenty to keep my busy these days! The Cooking Camp was a blast. The kids were adorable and they did so good with everything. My mom was, of course, a huge help. She drove 6 hours just to help out. God gave me an incredible mom, thats for sure. They all loved her and for some reason, I thought it was sooo cute when they called her "Sharon". So fun. Is it possible that I enjoyed it more than they did? Anywho...I snapped a few pictures...



We made some fun dishes and they all tasted really good. We started out the week on Monday with "Breakfast". We made things you could serve for breakfast. The next day we did things you could serve or might have for "lunch"... and so on. The last day we made and decorated homemade cupcakes and had a little party. I have to brag a bit on our students... Check out these cupcakes that they decorated. SO creative. SO cute!




One of my favorites recipes of the week was the strawberry butter we made on 'breakfast' day. I thought I would share it with everyone!

Strawberry Butter

1 10 oz. package of frozen strawberries (drained)
or 1 pint fresh strawberries

1/2 cup unsalted butter

1 cup powdered sugar

Mix all together in stand mixer until creamy and no lumps. (It may look like it's curdling but keep mixing until smooth)

Place in sealed jars and refrigerate.

* It is delicious on biscuits and toast, waffles and pancakes. You can also substitute strawberry butter in recipes for dishes calling for regular butter. Serving strawberry butter is an easy way to dress up your family breakfast table, or impress guests by serving it with dinner rolls at your next dinner party.

Ok, complete change of subject. To say that we 'like' Sister Schubert rolls is an understatement.


Adam and I can sadly put away a whole pan between the two of us at any given point. I only buy them every once and while because if Adam knows they are in the freezer he will beg me to bake them immediately. We don't understand how they are so good or what kind of addictive poison is in those things but we always said if we ever got the chance to meet her we would ask.


What are the odds that she walks into Adam's restaurant.


He text me right away when she came in and I sent him a picture of a pack in the freezer. Unfortunately, he did not ask about them being addictive but he did show her the picture that I sent him and actually got to sit down and talk to her a bit about my new CoCo cake dots business venture. She gave me some great advice and wished me luck. Precious! As if we could like the rolls anymore now??

Happy Father's Day to MY most wonderful DAD and all the dad's out there!


Have a great weekend!
