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

Monday Morning Chit-Chat

  Happy Monday, friends! Well, here we are again. Another Monday morning, another fresh week, and another cup of coffee that I'm hoping will magically give me the energy to accomplish all the things on my to-do list. Spoiler alert: It probably won't. But I'm going to drink it anyway. I thought we would start this week with a little old-fashioned chit-chat. Nothing too serious, nothing life changing. Just a little catching up on life lately, a few random thoughts, and whatever else happens to pop into my head. you know, the kind of conversation we'd have if you stopped by my house, pulled up a chair, and stayed a while. So grab your coffee (or whatever gets you going in the morning), and let's visit. First things first...it's October! This year is absolutely flying by. I love this time of year. The cozy evenings, the fall decorations, the soups and comfort foods, and the excuse to stay home in my pajamas a little longer. Now if Arkansas could just get the memo t...

What's Up Wednesday

 Happy What's Up Wednesday! Today I am linking up with  Shay  and  Sheaffer  for another "What's Up Wednesday" Let's do this! What we're eating this week... So far this week we have made: Wings on the Pit Boss Slow Cooker Pineapple Pork Chops You can't get any easier than wings and chops! Especially when they are on the grill and slow cooker!! What I'm Reminiscing About... Septembers past: September is Trey's birth month. It is also the month that my grandpa died four years ago. This is the year that Papa gave Trey a gun for his birthday. He was so proud to give it to Trey and you can tell by the look on Trey's face how happy he was. Such a sweet moment to remember. Our county fair is also in September. My kids used to love it when they were younger. They still love rides, just not the traveling kind :) This was Wrenley's school picture last year. She has grown so much in one year :) What I'm Loving... Makena and my mom have started mak...

Be Her: When Our Ideal Self Becomes an Idol

 Ella Langley's "Be Her" got me thinking about something I think a lot of women struggle with- the woman we think we should be.  You know her. She's more disciplined. More confident. More put together. She exercises, keeps the house clean, reads her Bible every morning, never loses her patience, and somehow always has good hair. We tell ourselves, If I could just be her..... And there's nothing wrong with wanting to grow. But what happens when the woman we want to become turns into an idol? Sometimes we become so focused on our ideal self that we forget to ask God who He wants us to become. There's a subtle difference between praying, "Lord, make me more like Christ," and saying, "Lord, help me to become the woman I've decided I need to be." One is surrender. The other can easily become control.  Philippians 1:6 reminds us that He which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ. God isn't waiting fo...
