Strawberry Shortcake

Yesterday I made this because my friend Marian from school came over with her family.

The recipe is really easy because you can just follow the recipe for a white cake mix or make your own and then add sliced up strawberries and cream or whip cream.

It's delicious and a quick dessert especially for the summer ( if it's still warm where ever you guys live)

I'm sorry, but I didn't think to take a picture, but I will add it when I make it again.

Easter Dinner

We had a wonderful Easter dinner on Sunday. Fresh homemade rolls, fruit salad, ham, rosemary potatoes and asparagus. I couldn't get any pics. because it got eaten up too fast. ;)

Grammy's Homemade Rolls

Ingredients:

- 2  1/4 c of warm water 

- 3 TBS of yeast

- 1/3 c of sugar

- 3 eggs

- 1/2 c of oil

- 1 TBS salt

- 7 c of flour 

Directions: 

Preheat the oven to 375 F or 175 C. 

Beat until smooth, fluffy, & elastic.

Let the dough rise double, it takes about an 1/2 hour.

Put the dough onto a floured surface.

Cut the dough using a glass cup to press down and cut the roll dough out into circles. 

TIP: Get the glass as close to the edge as possible. If you do this correctly, there should only be little triangles left between circles.

Dip half of the roll circle into melted butter and fold together with the buttered side in the inside.

Put the rolls onto a greased pan and let them rise double again.

Then bake them in the oven for 20-25 minutes.
