Father's Day Sport Berries

With Father's Day fast approaching, I've been brainstorming ideas for something awesome and unique to make for my husband. I stumbled on Sports Berries. I can't wait to make these....

Things you'll need:
Fresh Strawberries
White Chocolate bark
Dark Chocolate bark
Orange food coloring (to create the basketball)
White-Gel squeezable frosting
Red-Gel squeezable frosting
Brown-Gel squeezable frosting

To create the Baseball berries: Melt white chocolate bark over low heat. Dip strawberries. Place on waxed paper to dry. Then decorate with thin-tip red frosting.

To create Basket Ball: blah, blah, blah, you get the drift....just take a peek at the pic and there you go!

I doubt mine will turn out as good as these, but it's the thought that counts....right?                  

Rhubarb...yummm!

 

 Every Spring my grandparents grow the most amazing rhubarb garden. One of my favorite things to do was cut a stalk and eat it raw. I'd pucker up and enjoy the tart

experience. However, my taste buds have recently "matured" and I find that eating rhubarb is a much more pleasant experience when you add loads of sugar. After many failed attempts, I finally discovered this amazingly yummy recipe and I thought I'd share. So here it 

is....

 Rhubarb Strawberry Crunch

Ingredients

• 1 cup white sugar
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 3 cups sliced fresh strawberries
• 3 cups diced rhubarb
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 cup butter
• 1 cup rolled oats

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2. In a large bowl, mix white sugar, 3 tablespoons flour, strawberries, and rhubarb. Place the mixture in a 9x13 inch baking dish.
3. Mix 1 1/2 cups flour, brown sugar, butter, and oats until crumbly. You may want to use a pastry blender for this. Crumble on top of the rhubarb and strawberry mixture.
4. Bake 45 minutes in the preheated oven, or until crisp and lightly browned.
