Meals in 15 Minutes or Less - Lunch 4: Strawberry & Spinach Salad!

When my husband and I were out in California for our honeymoon, we had the pleasure of eating a variety of wonderful meals prepared by world-class chefs in the Napa Valley region.  One of my favorite meals out there was a strawberry spinach salad with candied walnuts.  It was absolutely incredible!  The ingredients were so fresh and I found myself disappointed there was not more to eat upon fini

This past January I married a wonderful young man whom shares my love of food. At the wedding, there were these delicious goat cheese tarts with carmelized onions. Unfortunately, because we had to be in the receiving line, we only got one of these tasty treats.

Warm, Fresh Baked Strawberry Pie!

Usually when I bake a "strawberry" anything pie, it's a strawberry rhubarb. However, my friend was visiting from out of town and special requested a warm, strawberry pie with top and bottom crusts. I loosely based my recipe on a blueberry pie recipe that my grandma taught me. It worked out fabulously! One caution: warm strawberry pie does not have time to congeal properly, so it will leak delicious strawberry goo in the pan. No worries!
