FOODIE FRIDAY!

The saw the most AMAZING recipe today, I think I will try it over the weekend and report back!

It's Strawberry Season and British Strawberries are SO YUMMY!  We've devoured three cartons since I arrived here.  Thus, I feel this recipe is fitting for the summer season.

You will need:

• A large carton of fresh strawberries
• 8 oz pkg softened cream cheese
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 sleeve of graham crackers

If you're feeling extra sweet, why not melt some chocolate chips over the outside?  Go on, be bad!

Steps:

1. Use a small knife to hollow out each strawberry
2. Beat the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth
3. Use a food processor or good 'ol hammer to crush the graham crackers
4. Use a piping bag (or just a plastic baggie with a corner cut off) to transfer the cream cheese filling precisely into the strawberries.  The filling should peek over the top of the strawberry slightly
5. Sprinkle with the graham cracker crumbs
6. Chocoholic?  Melt those chocolate chips and drizzle over your final product.

And voila!

Can't wait to post pics of my own strawberry delciousness!


P.S. Today I was talking on the phone to my mom and I used the word "rubbish" in a sentence.  Where did that come from?  Oy vey.
