At the end of April, the kids and I took a field trip to SweetBerry Farm in Marble Falls to pick strawberries. We met my friend Amy and her kids Adam and Lottie (as well as some of her other friends) and spent a few hours in the strawberry fields. The weather was really nice, and there were plenty of really sweet, beautiful strawberries. So many, in fact, that we went a little overboard. Bryan and Claudia each had their own basket, as did I. And while neither of the kids completely filled their baskets, they both did a pretty good job. And we came home with almost 7 pounds of strawberries.On the way home, Bryan decided that he wanted to make a strawberry pie. Claudia requested a strawberry shortcake. So while the kids napped, I flipped through cookbooks and searched online for something that was either already Bryan-safe or easily adaptable. (And made freezer jam in the meantime!) I came up with a strawberry pie recipe from the Food Network website (where else?), which was simple enough that Bryan was able to help me when he woke up from his nap. Fresh strawberry pie- mmmmmmmm...
Recipe- Neely's Strawberry Pie (available on Food Network website)
Modifications- Used Bryan-safe margarine instead of butter
Reactions- Kids and I loved it. Dad, as usual, didn't feel like trying anything that involved fruit.
Notes- Very easy recipe, and very good results. Definitely a winner!
