By //  by Life In Pleasantville Leave a Comment

When you're short on time but big on aspiration, this recipe will definitely save your life!  2-Ingredient 7UP Cupcakes make delicious and simple Strawberry Shortcakes in a jiffy. Dierks Bentley's "What was I thinking?" kept going around inside my head.  Seriously, I must have had a little something wrong (or a lot) with my head that day, to even consider catering dessert for two hundred people (wedding dinner).  Not just dessert, strawberry shortcake, made with cake, …

I'm a purist when it comes to ice cream. As few ingredients as possible are what make the best frozen treat. That's why I'm such a fan of this Homemade Berry Ice Cream. Six simple ingredients, incredible taste! During the summer months I pull out my ice cream maker  and load up our freezer with homemade vanilla, chocolate, peanut butter cup and this berry ice cream. I love watching guests taste ice cream as it should be. Berry Ice Cream 3/4 cup frozen strawberries, thawed and …

Feeling guilty that I'd neglected to try it for at least 5 years (yes, that's how many "somedays" I have) I pulled it out and gave it a whirl. All I can say is, damn, I need to get through that pile quicker. This Strawberry Romaine Salad is incredible — the perfect mix of sweet and tang and I'd say an ideal summer salad. I know though, you want to …

Very Berry Sangria

By //  by Candace Sampson 3 Comments

This is the second sangria recipe that I decided is worthy of you. Remember the first one? The Loosey Goosey Boozy Boozy Sangria? Original name, right? Well this one is equally as inventive. It's the Very Berry Sangria. Please, for the love of good sangria, do not confuse it with that Boone's crap you can buy at the liquor store. *shiver* THAT is not sangria. If you're ever in a bind and must buy sangria bottled make sure it's Real Sangria. But if you visit here regularly, you know that …
