Hi, I'm Nikki :) I started this blog as a way to remember my mom, Eva. She made the most delicious food, and she showed her love by cooking for people. This is where I carry on her traditions and share delicious recipes that will help you make memories with your loved ones. Thanks for stopping by, I sincerely hope you enjoy!

❣️Need a sweet treat for Valentine’s Day??❣️I got you covered with my mom’s easy but unbelievably addicting 🍓STRAWBERRIES & CREAM, ready in 15 minutes or less! Pro tip: this cream is so dang good you could eat it alone with a spoon, so make extra 😉 #loveandfoodforeva

INGREDIENTS
🌿2 lbs strawberries, cut into bite size pieces
🌿1 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
🌿3 Tablespoons powdered sugar
🌿1/2 cup sour cream
🌿2 ounces cream cheese, room temp
🌿4 Tablespoons light brown sugar
🌿1 Tablespoon vanilla extract

INSTRUCTIONS
1. Put heavy whipping cream into a large metal mixing bowl. Using a kitchen-aid stand mixer or hand mixer, mix on high for 1-2 minutes, until it starts to thicken and form stiff peaks.
2. Add the powdered sugar to the cream, mix on high another minute until thick. If you scoop the whipped cream with a spoon and turn it upside down, it should mostly stay on the spoon.
3. In another metal mixing bowl combine the sour cream, cream cheese, light brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Again mix together using either a kitchen-aid stand mixer or hand mixer until combined. It won't be completely smooth, that's OK.
4. Add the sour cream mixture to the first bowl of whipped cream, and fold the ingredients gently together with a silicone spatula until combined.
5. Divide the cut up strawberries into 4 bowls/cups and top with the cream.

🌿3 cups flour
🌿1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
🌿2 teaspoons baking powder
🌿2 teaspoons baking soda
🌿1 Tablespoon ground cinnamon
🌿1/2 Tablespoon ground nutmeg
🌿2 Tablespoons Chia seeds
🌿3 eggs
🌿15 oz can pure pumpkin puree
🌿2 large carrots, peeled & shredded
🌿2 large zucchinis, peeled & shredded
🌿1 cup applesauce, unsweetened
🌿2/3 cup sugar
🌿1 cup brown sugar, packed
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
2. In a big bowl add the following ingredients and mix together with a spatula: flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and chia seeds.
3. In a second larger bowl add the wet ingredients and sugars: eggs, pumpkin puree, shredded carrots, shredded zucchini, applesauce, sugar, brown sugar. Mix well using a hand mixer (or a stand mixer).
