first pound cake, and could have eaten the whole thing myself. (I'll share the recipe soon.) Today I'm hoping to make my first strawberry pie as a surprise for my husband. I called my husband's grandma for the recipe. Not surprisingly, she doesn't really have a recipe; she just makes it. Thankfully she was able to tell me how she makes it though it's not a written recipe. (Should I tell you I don't even like strawberries? I have issues with the texture...but like them in smoothies.)
This week on the blog I shared a thank you letter for teachers, countdown to summer printable, and a summer reading challenge. Of course you notice the theme. Brother completed school...and I'm gearing up for summer even if Big Sister has another two full weeks remaining. For variety, I also shared a 3 minute baked ravioli.

Our strawberries look like they'll be ripe in about a week. I've never made a strawberry pie...maybe this summer :)
