Strawberry Shortcake

Kick off the summer season with homemade strawberry shortcake. I usually use homemade scones as the base but the two key ingredients, in my opinion, are locally-picked strawberries and homemade whipped cream.

Norwegian Flag Cake

In honor of Syttende Mai, the Norwegian Constitution Day (also known as Norway’s National Day), I decided to make a blueberry cake and decorate it like the Norwegian flag. Local strawberries are in season so they became a natural choice for the red foundation of the flag.

Homemade Chicken Sausage
