Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberry Bites

Ingredients

• 1 pkg 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1/3 cup powdered sugar
• 1 1/2 tsp vanilla
• 1 pint large strawberries destemmed and cored
• crushed graham crackers for topping
• mini chocolate chips for topping

Instructions

• In a medium bowl, add cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla and beat with a hand mixer until creamy.
• Spoon the filling into a piping or ziptop bag then snip the corner of the bag.
• Fill the cored strawberries with the cheesecake filling in the piping bag.
• For topping: sprinkle on mini chocolate chips or dip the top of the strawberries in the crushed graham crackers.
• Add berries to a platter and serve immediately.

Start with a pint of large strawberries, freshly washed. 

First, remove the stems. 

Then using a small knife, core the strawberries.

I just scooped out the center but careful not to cut all the way through.

In a medium bowl, add cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla and beat with a hand mixer until creamy.

Spoon the filling into a piping or ziptop bag then snip the corner of the bag.

Fill the cored strawberries with the cheesecake filling in the piping bag.

These berries are so pretty and tasty!

For topping: sprinkle on mini chocolate chips or dip the top of the strawberries in the crushed graham crackers.

Add berries to a platter and serve immediately.

This Southern breakfast favorite is perfect for holiday celebrations and potlucks. Made in the Crock-Pot and cooked overnight, these creamy, buttery grits feed a crowd with just a few ingredients.

Overnight Creamy Crock-Pot Grits

Makes 10-12 servings

Ingredients

• Ingredients:
• 2 cups stoneground old-fashioned grits not instant
• 7 cups water
• 1 tbsp salt
• ½ cup unsalted butter cubed
• ½ cup heavy cream

Instructions

• Directions:
• Add grits, water, and salt to a large slowcooker.
• Stir well then add the lid.
• Cook for 7 hours on low. Stir once or twice if possible so it doesn't stick to the sides.
• After 7 hours, remove the lid and add the heavy cream and butter. Stir until completely melted and creamy.
• Ladle into bowls and serve warm.

It is important to use “old fashioned” or stone ground grits for this recipe.

Do not use quick grits which is finer ground and cook much faster. 

All you need to start these grits in the slowcooker are 2 cups of stone ground grits, salt, and water.

Do not use milk- we will add cream later.

Add grits, water, and salt to a large slowcooker.

Stir well then add the lid.

Cook for 7 hours on low. Stir once or twice if possible so it doesn’t stick to the sides.

After 7 hours, remove the lid and add the heavy cream and stir.

Now slice up a stick of unsalted butter. 

Add the butter to the creamy cooked grits. 

Stir until completely melted.

Now you have a big crock full of the creamiest buttery grits you have ever had!

 Ladle into bowls and serve warm.

Makes plenty of servings, around 10-12 bowls.

Raspberry Coffee Crepes

Makes 4

Equipment

• Makes 4

Ingredients

For the coffee whipped cream:

• 2 cups heavy whipping cream
• ½ cup powdered sugar
• 2 tsp instant coffee granules

For the crepes:

• 4 premade 9 inch French style crepes from Melissa's Produce
• 1 pint raspberries rinsed and dried
• Melissa's Produce Raspberry Dessert Sauce for drizzling
• Coffee Coco Snax by Melissa's Produce crushed for topping

Instructions

For the coffee whipped cream:

• Use a chilled whisk/mixer and bowl.
• Pour heavy cream, powdered sugar, and instant coffee into chilled bowl and mix with a mixer at medium speed until fluffy and thick, about 2-3 minutes.
• Chill until ready to serve.

To assemble the crepes:

• Spread a couple dollops of coffee whipped cream on the inside of a crepe.
• Next add a couple spoonfuls of raspberries in the middle of the crepe.
• Roll the crepe and top with a drizzle of raspberry sauce and a sprinkle of crushed coffee flavored Coco Snax. You can also add another dollop or two of whipped cream.
• Sprinkle with extra berries.
• Repeat with remaining crepes and serve right away!

Notes

Feel free to substitute any berries in season! Also you can substitute coffee extract for the instant coffee and crushed chocolate covered espresso beans for the Coco Snax garnish.

For this simple dessert recipe I use three different Melissa’a Produce products. 

The premade crepes are my favorite!

The secret for the perfect homemade whipped cream- use a chilled mixer bowl and whisk/mixer.

I place mine in the freezer for at least an hour. 

First, make the coffee whipped cream. Pour 2 cups heavy cream in the bowl.

Then add powdered sugar and instant coffee.

Mix with a mixer over medium speed until fluffy and thick, about 2-3 minutes.

The perfect fluffy whipped cream!

Chill until ready to serve. 

These extra thin crepes are made by Melissa’s Produce.

I like to use them often for sweet desserts and for savory lunch crepes. 

Start by laying out a crepe on a cutting board.

Spread and smooth a couple dollops of coffee whipped cream on the inside of a crepe.

Next add a couple spoonfuls of raspberries in the middle of the crepe.

Now fold up the crepes. There are two way I like to serve my crepes- rolled or folded into a triangle. 

I decided to roll these filled crepes and serve two per plate. 

Roll the crepe and top with a drizzle of raspberry sauce. 

I like to drizzle a lot all over the crepes and the plate. It also makes a pretty presentation. 

Add a dollop of whipped cream on top and sprinkle of crushed coffee flavored Coco Snax . 

I think using crushed chocolate covered espresso beans would be delicious too.

Sprinkle with extra berries.

Repeat with remaining crepes and serve right away!

We’re brunchin’ all spring long and classics like bagels and lox (salmon) is one of my favorites to serve. 

I made a Smoked Salmon Dip last month and today I am sharing my Salmon and Bagel Board. 

This delicious charcuterie board is loaded with fresh and flavorful ingredients for creating a smoked salmon and bagel station at your next brunch.

I first made this recipe for our library cookbook club. It is inspired by the Bagel Board in the book Stunning Spreads.

This is my original board for the library. It made a ton and we had lots leftover for the next day!

Mother’s Day is this Sunday and one of my favorite gifts from my girls has always been fresh picked flowers.

So I designed these printable flower wrappers as a cute gift idea for Mother’s Day (or any day you want to give flowers, really).

Make your spring flowers extra special with these pretty Mother’s Day themed flower bouquet wrappers. 

Choose from three floral designs and give Mom a one of a kind gift to celebrate her!

I love how cute these simple bouquets are in the printed wrappers!

My pretty girls with their pretty flowers for Mama!

Start by printing out the paper design you want. There are three available to download below.

I couldn’t choose a favorite so I included three designs including one that is just simple floral designs for any time.

Roll the paper into a tight cone and tape on the sides to secure. 

You can make it as thin or as wide as you want to depending on how many flowers you want to add.

You can trim flowers and add directly to the wrappers.

Or to keep fresh longer you can wrap the bottom of the flower bouquet in a damp paper towel then add to a baggie and secure with a rubber band. 

Store bought roses look beautiful too! My favorite are these orange and peach spray roses.

Adorable and ready for gift giving! Hope you enjoy this thoughtful gift idea this Mother’s Day.

Download your flower wrappers below!

There are three different designs available to download and print for free.

Two are Mother’s Day themed with text and one is a simple floral design for anytime you want to gift flowers!

Peaches and Cream Cookies

Ingredients

• 1 1/4 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup salted butter softened
• 4 ounces cream cheese softened
• 3 eggs
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp nutmeg
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 15 oz can peach pie filling chopped into small pieces
• 3 tbsp peach jam
• 15 oz can peach slices drained
• 3 1/2 cups flour
• 2-3 cups pecan pieces

Instructions

• Preheat the over 375 degrees.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment or spray heavily with non stick spray.
• Add your drained canned peaches to a chopping board and slice in half vertically one or two times, depending on size. This gives you thinner slices to top you cookies.
• Add them to a paper towel lined plate to finish draining while you mix up the cooking dough.
• Add sugar, butter, and cream cheese to a larger mixing bowl.
• Mix together first on low then gradually higher until creamed together and smooth, about 2 minutes.
• Now add eggs, one at a time, over low speed until incorporated.
• Now add cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda, and salt.
• Finally, with the mixer running on low speed, mix in the chopped peach pie filling and peach jam.
• Once that is all mixed well add flour, about 1/2 a cup at a time. Keep it on low speed and mix until all the flour is incorporated.
• Pour pecan pieces (or you can use chopped pecans but break up any large pieces) onto a large plate. You can add about half and refill as needed.
• Using a mini scoop or a spoon, scoop up dough, add to the plate of pecans.
• Gently roll into a ball and lightly coat with pecans.
• Remove cookie dough to the lined baking sheet. Repeat until you have 12 cookies on the sheet.
• Bake for 18-20 minutes, until soft and cooked through.
• Let sit for a minute then remove to a tray to cool.
• Repeat with remaining dough. I made larger cookies so I got about three trays full.

Notes

Adapted from Joanne Fluke's novel 

I love the use of three different peach flavors and textures in this cookie!

Add your drained canned peaches to a chopping board and slice in half vertically one or two times, depending on size. This gives you thinner slices to top you cookies.

Add them to a paper towel lined plate to finish draining while you mix up the cooking dough.

Add sugar, butter, and cream cheese to a larger mixing bowl.

Mix together first on low then gradually higher until creamed together and smooth, about 2 minutes.
Now add eggs, one at a time, over low speed until incorporated.

Now add cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda, and salt.

I just love the smell of these warm spices!

Finally, with the mixer running on low speed, mix in the chopped peach pie filling and peach jam.

Once that is all mixed well add flour, about 1/2 a cup at a time.

Keep it on low speed and mix until all the flour is incorporated.

The dough will be thick and fragrant. 

Pour pecan pieces (or you can use chopped pecans but break up any large pieces) onto a large plate.

You can add about half and refill as needed.

Using a mini scoop or a spoon, scoop up dough, add to the plate of pecans.

Gently roll into a ball and lightly coat with pecans.

Remove cookie dough to the lined baking sheet. Repeat until you have 12 cookies on the sheet.

Bake at 375 degrees for 18-20 minutes, until soft and cooked through.

Let sit for a minute then remove to a tray to cool.

Repeat with remaining dough. I made larger cookies so I got about three trays full.

Serve these soft cookies on a pretty floral plate at your next spring brunch or outdoor party!

The post 175+ Delicious and Easy To Make Mother’s Day Brunch Recipes appeared first on For the Love of Food.

Mother’s Day is this weekend and my girls and I love to craft and make homemade gifts for every special holiday. I wanted to come up with an easy gift idea that they could fill out and color on their own so I created two styles of All About My Mom Mother’s Day Printables. These fill in the blank printable questionnaires are designed for both big and little kids. One is a pretty floral design for older kids to write on and the other is a color your own version that little kids will enjoy decorating and even drawing a portrait of Mom!

How lucky and I to call these girls my daughters? I love being their Mom!

My fun loving Stella is my youngest and my wild child! She love to be outside running, riding her skate board, fishing, and exploring!

We like to go on nature hikes together. She also gives the best cuddles! I can see Stella being a stand up comedian one day. 

Ava is my first born and my sweet and shy baby girl. She is incredibly smart and thoughtful. She loves to read and craft just like her Mom!

We attended a Mother’s Day paint night this week and made matching elephants. I love her creativity. She will do amazing things one day!

Both my girls like the color your own printable the best. They enjoy coloring, drawing, and making the gift their own. 

My sweet Ava made two for me. I love reading her creative and sweet answers to the questions about me!

Quaran-Tea for you!

I’m going to be honest. I have lost count of just how many days we have been on quarantine!

Even though it has been nice to spend more time at home with my family and dog, I sure do miss

going out and seeing my friends and family and simply having me time.

So I created this fun tea gift set to drop off on my friends doorsteps and mail to family as quarantine gift!

Scroll down to see how to put together your own easy tea gift and download the cute themed gift tags.

These cute printable tags are perfect for tying on gifts for Mother’s Day, thank you’s, and just because!

Choose from three phrases:

Quaran-Tea for you

You are Beau-teaful

Thanks for being Tea-rrific

I love making thoughtful gifts “just because” and now with everyone stuck at home is a great time to show your friends you care!

Start with a large mug. I found these clear glass mugs at Dollar Tree.

I added decorative paper as padding and to fill the glass.

These tea bag holders from Pioneer Woman brand at Walmart are too cute to not gift to everyone!

I had to get one for myself too!

I bought a sampler of tea from TjMaxx. Each of the 12 boxes had 8 tea bags.

I added 8 tea bags of one flavor to a clear favor bag and added it to the mug.

Finally, something sweet! I added a gourmet chocolate bar to each mug too.

Other ideas to add to the gift: honey sticks, decorative spoons, tea infuser, packaged pastries, and gift cards.

I tied on a gift tag to each mug handle and it’s ready to be dropped off for my friends!

Here’s the printable gift tags with 3 different phrases.
