In case you were wondering…life is crazy with 3 kids!  So much more crazier than I would have ever imagined!  But everyday gets a little easier, sort of.  So hopefully, one day I can get used to it.  It will be much easier when I can get 8 straight un-interrupted hours of sleep, but that’s a ways down the road. Motherhood is also a beautiful, beautiful thing.  And I treasure every second I have with my beautiful children.  I’m so lucky. ÂAnd luckily I have an awesome husband to share it with!

I made this delicious Fresh Strawberry Pie for Father’s Day and I cleaned it up today (sorry hubby).  In about 2 minutes.  I couldn’t stop eating it!  How in the world am I ever going to get off this baby weight? Anyways, like I said, this was soooo good.  I found some really sweet strawberries and paired it with a homemade graham cracker crust (so much better than store bought). Top it with some fresh whipped cream and you’ve got yourself a winner of a dessert.  Give it a try!  Have a great week everyone!

Fresh Strawberry Pie

1 (9 inch) graham cracker crust pie shell,
2 pints fresh strawberries
3/4 cup white sugar
1 1/2 Tablespoons cornstarch
1 cup boiling water
3 Tablespoons strawberry flavored gelatin

In a saucepan, mix together the sugar and corn starch; make sure to blend corn starch in completely. Add boiling water, and cook over medium heat until mixture thickens. Remove from heat. Add gelatin mix, and stir until smooth. Let mixture cool to room temperature. Place strawberries in pie shell; position berries with points facing up. Pour cooled gel mixture over strawberries. Refrigerate until set. Serve with whipped cream, if desired.

Graham Cracker Crust

1 1/2 cups finely ground graham cracker crumbs
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup butter, melted

Mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, melted butter until well blended . Press mixture into an 8 or 9 inch pie plate. Bake at 375 degrees for 7 minutes. Cool. If recipe calls for unbaked pie shell, just chill for about 1 hour.
