Stawberry Refrigerator Cake

This has been a long time Jensen favorite. I found this recipe on the back of a Duncan Hines cake mix and we've been in love with it since! This wasn't my best attempt as my cake fell and I poured too many strawberries on top but it still tasted heavenly!

Virgin Strawberry Daiquiri

I was perusing the net yesterday when I came across this recipe. I wanted to make it for my daughter but she was way to sleepy to even try it. Oh well, next time!

Ingredients:

1 oz. fresh lime juice

3 oz. fresh strawberries (can use frozen strawberries or strawberry syrup)

1 tsp. sugar

cracked ice

Directions:

Fill lime juice, strawberries, and sugar into a blender. Blend until smooth, then add the cracked ice and blend again until smooth. Pour into a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with whole strawberry or mint leaf.

Fruit Smoothie

I have to find new and creative ways to give my daughter Carlee her powdered medicine in the morning so what better way than a smoothie! She was kind of getting sick of yogurt and applesauce all the time. She slurped it down really fast. She didn't even wait to sit in her chair. She plopped right down on the floor and sucked it down.

My Ingredients:

1 cup fresh strawberries

2/3 cup frozen blueberries (if using fresh berries add 1/2 cup crushed ice)

1/3 cup orange juice

1/3 cup vanilla soymilk

Pulse in blender until well blended. Enjoy!

Note: This recipe was used before we found out Carlee was allergic to strawberries. Now we substitute raspberries or other fruit for the strawberries!
