Easy Strawberry Jam

A couple weeks ago Nick and I fixed a large breakfast and decided we wanted jam to go with our biscuits, but alas I had taken it to work and didn't have any. No need to fret though because I had some strawberry and I knew I could whip up some strawberry jam in a matter of no time. So, here is the recipe for my quick and easy strawberry jam!



Ingredients:

2 Cups of Strawberries
1 Tablespoon of Lemon Juice
1/4 Cup of Sugar

Directions:

1. Hull and slice two cups of strawberries
2. Blend until desired consistency has been reached
3. Boil strawberries, 1/4 cup of sugar and 1 tbsp of lemon juice at a rapid boil until thickened. Stirring as not to stick.
4. Let cool at room temperature (but in my case I needed it ASAP so I stuck it in the freezer for 10 minutes)

Enjoy!

Yields 4 servings

Weekend Waffles With Revealed Secret Ingredient

Nick has been craving waffles for weeks now so we finally made some on Thursday night but we also had some today for breakfast. As I started to make the mix Nick asked me if I put _____________ (the secret ingredient) in it. Of course I hadn't put the ingredient in because I hadn't even thought of it. 

Needless to say I mentioned how I couldn't believe I hadn't thought of putting that in the mix and I poured about 1/4 cup of it in and proceeded as normal. The waffles turned out delicious and I couldn't help but rave about the secret ingredient Nick knew about but I hadn't thought of before. 

You might have thought of this ingredient before, but it is coffee creamer! Who would have thought?

Colorful Deviled Eggs

Looking for an aesthetically pleasing alternative to the bland deviled eggs? Look no further! Here is my recipe for colorful and delicious deviled eggs.


Recipe:

Ingredients:
Medium-sized saucepan
Dozen eggs
Water
Dash of Baking Soda
Kraft Mayonnaise with Olive Oil (specific brand I use)
Mustard
Relish
Garlic
Paprika
Food coloring
Three medium-sized bowls

Directions:
1. Fill the saucepan halfway with water, sprinkle some baking soda in the mix, place all the eggs in the pan, place on the stovetop and turn onto high.
2. Take it to a rolling boil and turn down to medium heat and boil for 8 minutes.
3. Once boiled for 8 minutes turn stovetop off and let sit for another 5-10 minutes.
4. Pour remainder of water out and replace with cold tap water and let sit until cooled enough to peel.
5. Once all eggs are peeled start slicing each egg lengthwise (removing yolk and placing in a bowl).
6. Once all eggs are sliced put food coloring in separate bowls and add a cup of water (follow directions on package to obtain preferred color).
7. Steep egg slices in each color until the egg is at preferred color and remove.
8. Rinse egg slices and place on a serving tray as they are finished.
9. While eggs are steeping in color, add mustard, mayo, garlic and relish to the yolk and mix until creamy. I don't measure my ingredients out because I can eye when I've reached the correct amount.
10. Once all egg slices are colored and rinsed, scoop the yolk mixture into the slices and put in fridge until you're ready to serve.

Note: To create a better yolk design you can use icing tips or a simple sandwich bag with the tip cut off to create designs. 

Enjoy!
