Yesterday the hubby gave me a break from cooking. Just
typing that last sentence made me feel so excited all over again! I love it
when he cooks because his food truly tastes divine! I am not just saying that
because he is my husband. His food receives rave reviews from people all of the
time because it is truly that delicious. He is the one who taught me how
to cook and helps me perfect recipes. So hopefully you understand why I was so
excited when he said he would cook. The menu was EVERYTHING! He cooked salmon
with a blend of herbs and spices, Mediterranean style basmati rice with lemon
and fresh herbs, Haricot Verts, and for dessert he made strawberry shortcakes!
YUM!
Doesn’t it look delicious! The strawberry glaze and toppings
were made from scratch by simply cooking chopped up strawberries and sugar on
top of the stove. I love strawberry shortcakes because they aren’t too sweet
but they are a light and airy dessert that doesn’t make me feel too guilty
about eating two servings. I also think they are the perfect dessert for
Valentines Day.
These treats are quick, easy, and pretty. Plus, I paid under $6 for 6 servings! The ingredients cost under six bucks! Aldi has a sell on their strawberries this week; they are on sale for $1.49 per carton. I purchased two cartons. The sponge cakes were $1.44 for a pack of six and the whip cream was $1.38 at Walmart. Talk about being simple and savvy!
