Grilled Strawberry Basil Pound Cake

July 9, 2015 By Shannah Coe Leave a Comment

Pound cake is one of those super simple cakes to make that goes well with just about anything. We usually keep one around the house so we can top it with fresh fruit for a quick dessert. I love the combination of strawberry and basil together so I created grilled strawberry basil pound cake for an extra special dessert.

Strawberries are at the height of the freshness right now! We have a strawberry patch that opened up just down from the road from us and it is packed all day long right now. Oh, and of course, I keep seeing tons of strawberry photos all over my social media. During summer, I love a good cocktail so I went on the hunt for some great strawberry cocktails and came up with these 9 refreshing ideas.

Strawberry Goat Cheese Crostini

April 21, 2015 By Shannah Coe 18 Comments

I love cheese. That doesn’t always marry well with my Paleo lifestyle but I do allow myself to indulge from time to time. One of my favorite cheeses is goat cheese. I love it in salads, pasta and so many other dishes too. I had some gorgeous, fresh strawberries recently and I was torn with what to do with them…besides eat them. I ended up making strawberry goat cheese crostini and it was the perfect Spring lunch.

Strawberry Shortcake

July 22, 2014 By Shannah Coe Leave a Comment

Strawberries are everywhere right now. I know our berry patches are turning out some amazing strawberries and they are just begging to be eaten, cooked with and enjoyed while they are at their peak. I love eating strawberries on their own but also like to add them to desserts during the summer.  For dessert not too long ago, I decided to do a slightly different take on strawberry shortcake and use a cheesecake style filling in place of the traditional whipped cream.

Make the best of summer's fresh fruit in this strawberry cheesecake shortcake.

Strawberry Basil Scones

July 20, 2014 By Shannah Coe 5 Comments

Mathlete is a scone lover. Every time we go to the coffee shop or pick up pastries for breakfast, he always chooses scones. I had never really thought about making my own scones until I was chatting with a blog friend of mine about ways to use her awesome basil simple syrup. I decided right then that I was going to try my hand at making strawberry basil scones with a basil glaze. 

Strawberry basil scones are the perfect combination of summer flavors!

Strawberry Basil Teagarita

July 10, 2014 By Shannah Coe 24 Comments

Almost every Friday, another family and I hit the local Mexican restaurant for margaritas. Both of our schedules have changed a bit so we haven’t been able to make it there as often and have opted for food and cocktails at home instead. Jose Cuervo makes a delicious ready-to-serve margarita and they just recently introduced the Iced Teagarita. It is an yummy mix of a classic lime flavored margarita and iced tea. It is an amazingly refreshing cocktail on a hot summer night!

I have been adding fresh berries to my iced tea drinks recently so I decided to combine that new treat with the Jose Cuervo drink and make a strawberry basil Teagarita.

Oh, strawberry and basil together are so good. What a great idea to combine it a teagarita! #CuervoTeagarita #spon

Grilled Fruit Kabobs

June 18, 2014 By Shannah Coe 11 Comments

It is only mid-June but I’ve talked a lot about how I like to cook on the grill already.  So, it is probably no surprise that today’s recipe is for grilled fruit kabobs.  These grilled fruit kabobs are special though because they are basted with a citrus mint glaze while they are grilled which gives them an extra punch of flavor.

Amazingly delicious grilled fruit kabobs are perfect for summer.  They are marinated in a citrus mint syrup for an extra tasty flavor.
