Strawberry Rhubarb Crunch

I made this for the first time in June 2006 and have made it just about every June since! It works with sugar free jell-o, and I've also used a combination of cut up strawberries and rhubarb, or even blueberries and rhubarb.

Got this cooling on top of the stove and I had to sneak a taste. WOW! I've never made anything with rhubarb before, but my dear FIL gave us some to try. Very, very good!

Strawberry Pizzelles

Pizzelles are one of my favorite childhood cookies and I'm constantly looking for ways to put a new spin on them.  Since one of my favorite summer fruits is strawberries, I swapped out the vanilla in the original recipe with strawberry extract. 

Easy Stuffed Waffles with Sweet and Savory Fillings

Stuffed waffles are a fun twist on the classic waffle—crispy on the outside and packed with tasty fillings inside. I recently got a stuffed waffle maker, and I’m loving how it turns waffles into little pockets of deliciousness! The best part? You don’t need a strict recipe because this is a perfect “clean out the fridge” meal. Grab whatever leftovers or fillings you have on hand, stuff ’em inside, and waffle away! Here’s what I tried this time, but feel free to get creative and make it your own.
