Our local Sam’s Club had a special on 2lbs of huge fresh strawberries for $3. 
So of course, I bought a few containers and then came home and tried to think of some fun Strawberry recipes.
We made PB&J Smoothies and Strawberry Sauce for Ava’s French Toast sticks. 
We had my favorite snack: sweet strawberries dipped in whipped cream. We even made a delish Strawberry Cobbler. 
Then I thought, why don’t I make a pie?
So this Mile High Fresh Strawberry Pie was assembled in a matter of minutes and after putting it in the fridge and letting it set for a couple hours {I know the wait killed me!} we topped it with whipped cream and dug in! It was sweet and absolutely delicious and totally worth the wait!

 Roll pie crust out and press into a 9 or 10 inch pie plate. Trim and crimp sides.
Bake pie shell according to package directions. Cool.
Bring water, sugar, and cornstarch to a boil in a large pot over medium heat.
Stir until thick and clear, about 2-3 minutes.
I used a large box of sugar free Strawberry Jell-o.
 
Add strawberry jell-o powder and mix well.
Remove from heat and fold in sliced strawberries.
It was tempting to not sample this mixture with a spoon! 
Pour into cooled pie shell.
It will be filled to the top and packed full of berries!
Place in refrigerator until set, about 1-2 hours.
 This is quite possibly the most beautiful dessert I have ever made!
 Slice and serve topped with a dollop of whipped cream.
I made this pie on our anniversary night and we enjoyed it all week long {it’s one big ol’ pie}!
My husband and I celebrated 3 years with sparkling grape juice and my crazy good Skillet Steak with Blue Cheese Butter and Garlic Roasted Mushrooms.

🍜 We had so much fun celebrating Lunar New Year last weekend with dinner at @pho_85_noodle_house_llc in Bentonville, AR! The Banh Mi sandwich and Beef and Seafood Pho soups were filled with fresh ingredients and flavor packed. As you can see their portions were huge so it's a great place to share! We also tried an appetizer sampler, Thai Tea, Coconut Boba Smoothie (my girls' favorite) and macarons for dessert. Everything was made to order and delicious. The staff was kind and helpful. If you live near by, check them out and #eatlocall ! ❤️ @visitbentonville #Bentonville  #pho85noodlehouse #arkansasfoodie #whatsfordinner #arkansasblogger #supportlocal #bentonvillearkansas #lunarnewyear #chinesenewyear

🌟I had to step out of my comfort zone today and attend my first networking event since moving to Arkansas. I already  struggle with meeting new people and being social since I work from home but now I live in a new city and know no one. Thank goodness I found @winnwa . The networking lunch today at @bonefishgrill was exciting, encouraging, and of course, fun! Over 80 local business women attended and everyone had a chance to introduce themselves and share what they do. I look forward to more  #womeninnetworking events in the future. Hoping to make some new friends too!
➡️ Swipe to see what I left with..... Bang Bang Shrimp, of course!🦐 #winnwa #smallbusinessowner #workfromhome #bloggerlife #arkansasblogger #nwarkansas #bonefishgrill #networking
