Several weeks ago, I made a new friend! Turns out, we both enjoy cooking, so we planned a night to cook dinner for our hubbies. She even made me a cute new apron! Thanks, Claire. :)
Dinner was baked chicken with homemade tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese, sweet potatoes with goat cheese (amazing!), and a pretty fruit salad. Simple yet very filling.
It was sunny. :)
Oh, and I almost forgot! I made homemade shortcake for our tasty Strawberry Shortcake dessert. Here's the easy recipe:
Ingredients: 2 c. flour 2 tbsp. sugar 4 tsp. baking powder 1/2 tsp. salt 1/2 tsp. cream of tartar 1/2 c. butter, softened 1 egg, beaten 2/3 c. milk Directions: In a bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and cream of tartar. Cut in butter until mixture is the size of peas. Add the egg and milk; mix well. Spread into a greased 8-in. square baking pan. Bake at 375 for 20-25 minutes. Cut into squares and top with strawberries and whipped cream if desired. Yield: 9 servings.
