Blueberry Pie

From HERE:........

To HERE!

This is more of an "I'm proud of myself" kind of post! I won't be sharing the recipe with ya'll beacause it didn't turn out quite right.....VERY RUNNY.....good but runny. BUt the story of the pie........
My friend had told me that she had gone and picked blueberries at a u-pick farm and how much fun it was. So the next time she went she invited me along! So we went and picked almost 5 pounds of blueberries for $12! Not too shabby! I had heard that this recipe I used was soooo good, so I was super excited to try it. It called for 1 golden delicious apple which is kinda unique and I had heard that the apple is like a natural thickener......apparently not the one I picked! Plus I really wasn't so much of a fan of the apple in the pie....didn't really fit. But I did eat 2 pieces! THis was my first double crust pie and the crust turned out really good! Anyway....I'll have to try a different recipe sometime!

Cream Cheese Stuffed Strawberries

It has been a while since I posted something....I haven't baked much these days. Cupcakes when it's so hot don't sound so good!!!! But thses are a perfect, cool enough to eat in the summer treat! Just looking at this picture makes my mouth water!!! These are so good, easy to make and look pretty elegant, if I do say so myself! Try them!!!

The Recipe:::
2 Pints of strawberries
1 8 oz. packeage cream cheese
3/4 cup powedered sugar
1 t almond extract

1- Wash strawberries and either let them air dry or softly pat them dry. Leave the stems on them. Then cut the the ends of them like an x not quite to the stem end. Set them aside.

2- To prepare the filling: Beat cream cheese, powdererd sugar and almond extract. You can do these 2 or 3 days ahead to save time.

3- Put filling into a piping bag and gently insert into the x'd end of the strawberry.

4- For a delicious option you can drizzle chocolate on them!
