We have been eating a lot of strawberries lately since they are now in season and on sale. I tried this recipe for the strawberry shortcake and loved it. I just used the shortcake part of the recipe, then added sugared strawberries, and fresh whipped cream. This is a biscuit-type shortcake not a fluffy cake-like shortcake but it is delicious. Grating the butter makes it so easy to incorporate and I used very cold, not frozen, butter and it worked fine. I also opted to skip the egg washing step. And, to make it easier, I just divided the dough into six portions and shaped them into rounds with my hands. Yummy summer dessert!

Alligator Cupcake Cake
I have to brag and say this is one of my proudest baking (really decorating) achievements. I made this alligator cupcake cake for Jack's birthday. It was actually quite easy thanks to the idea from the Hello, Cupcake cookbook. Check it out!Spanish Chicken Cutlets with Olive Rice
I tried this recipe from Rachael Ray and really liked it. It's a new and different way to cook chicken breasts and the rice is delicious and so flavorful! I used jarred roasted red peppers instead of piquillo peppers. I didn't take the time to make the sauce and I didn't miss it.
