Strawberry cheesecake is my 2nd favorite dessert, next to vanilla white cake with strawberries in the middle covered in whipped cream topping. YUM! I wanted to make this easier for myself being I am very busy, going non stop every single day with a 5 year old, 17 year old and 18 year old children. I made this dessert to bring to a family dinner at my brother in laws home. This dessert was gone before I could blink, lol. I literally wanted a second piece but it was gone. So, I made a second one for our family after the party. You Will Need: 1 tub Cheesecake Filling 12 Graham Crackers Crushed 1/2 Cup Sugar 1 Stick Butter, melted 1 lb Strawberries, cut 1/2 Cup Sugar 2 tbsp Lemon Juice
Bagels never last in our home so it is no surprise that I have to make them often. While making a batch of my plain bagels, I decided to experiment with adding a little lemon and a blueberry puree and see how it turns out. By golly miss molly! It was amazing!!! I cannot express or explain how amazing these are. So, just give them a try and let me know what you think on facebook or here. They will knock your socks off!!
You Will Need:
1 Pint Blueberries
2 tbsp Lemon, juiced
1 pk Yeast
1 tsp Salt
5 1/2 Cups Bread Flour
2/3 Cups Water
1/4 Cup Sugar
Place water, lemon juice, and blueberries in a blender; blender until puree is smooth
Done
(see my notes hehe) Place all dry ingredients into a stand mixer
Add the puree and continue to mix
You may need a little more water, add 1 tbsp at a time; until the dough forms a ball. Continue mixing on setting 2 for 10 minutes
Place in a greased bowl
Cover and rise for 40 minutes in a warm area
Cut the dough
Weigh out 3 oz balls (this is for mini bagels)
Roll into the ball and place on a cookie sheet, rise for 20 minutes covered with a damp towel
Once done rising, place a pointer finger in the middle and spin until a big enough whole
They will not look perfect, but honestly who cares! My kids helped so they look 'goofy' (allow these to rest until water boils)
