Strawberry Shortcake Cups

 Ah February, the month of love. I love a good theme month, and I also love loving on my people! I know that most of the time the way to their heart it through their stomach💗 Today I want to share my recipe for Strawberry Shortcake Cups. 



Ingredients

Strawberry Filling

  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Shortcake Cups
  • 2 cups prepared pound cake or vanilla cake, cubed
Whipped Cream
  • 1 cup heavy whipping Cream
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
  1. In a bowl, toss sliced strawberries with sugar and lemon juice. Let sit for 15-20 minutes until juicy.
  2. In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until soft peaks form.
  3. To assemble, layer cake cubes in the bottom of small cups or jars.
  4. Spoon strawberries and juices over the cake.
  5. Add a layer of whipped cream.
  6. Repeat layers once more, finishing with whipped cream and strawberries on top.
  7. Chill for 10-15 minutes or serve immediately.
Serving Ideas
  • Garnish with a whole strawberry or heart-shaped strawberry slice
  • Add white chocolate shavings for a romantic touch
  • Serve in clear glass jars or dessert cups
Strawberries have always been a symbol of love--sweet, simple, and meant to be shared. This dessert is less about impressing and more about enjoying the moment. A reminder that love doesn't have to be complicated to be meaningful. 

Enjoy!

Much Love,
Beth

Friday Favorites

 Happy Friday, Friends! Today I'm linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for another Friday Favorites. What a week it has been! Having picnics with Wrenley and Makena were pretty high up on my favorites list. She wanted a lunchable (big surprise there!) while Makena and I had tuna salad. Playing outside is a must with Wrenley! And she loves making sure the bird bath has plenty of water! Another thing on my favorites list is listening to Trey play the guitar. This smile is also my favorite! We had a celebration for my son-in-law, Caleb this week. He is a pretty great guy and we are thankful that he is "ours" now :)  He is my favorite son-in-law! As I was studying for my Gospel Project lesson earlier this week I realized we only have 3 more lessons! That means that summer break is just 3 weeks away (for our Wednesday night program)! Although I will still have to prepare lessons for Sunday School and VBS.  Summer is my favorite! This summer will be extra sp...

Friday Favorites

 Woo Hoo, it's Friday! Just last week I was talking about how this month is flying by, but this week has moved at a snail's pace! Today, I am linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for Friday Favorites. I have been working on my fitness for about a year now, more seriously in the past 6 months. One thing I've worked on is getting my daily protein in. I tried the built puff protein bars a while ago and they are wonderful, but earlier this week I found the sour puffs, and wow, those things are surprisingly amazing!! I've also taken the new year to do a little more for myself. I started ordering from Nuuly (a monthly clothing subscription). I have found serveral brands that I have wanted to try. There is no pressure to buy anything. You just simply pick 6 items, wear them for the month and send it back and then pick 6 more items (of course, you can purchase if you like). This is a new favorite of mine. At the end of November I bought tickets to the Jason Aldean conce...

Friday Favorites

 Happy Friday, friends! Today I am linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for another Friday Favorites. This is going to be a rapid-fire Friday favorites because it is getting late and I have to wake up extra early to pick up a special little girl :) The said little girl! Nobody ever told me how much you love your grandbabies! Spending time with Wrenley is always one of my favorites💗 Another one of my favorite things is watching Makena present. This time she was on her "home turf". She did a presentation on The Stuttgart Army Airfield for a historical group at our community center. They had their biggest turnout for a meeting because Makena has so many people who support her and love her. We are thankful for everyone who came. Of course she did a great job. I'm always proud of her. It is always a favorite any time I get a video or picture of my grandson, Wesley. I can't wait until June! My gentle giant, Boone, wanting to do his favorite thing: GO OUTSIDE! Makena ...
