Raspberry Ice Cubes
For hot summer days, when you want to add that extra little flavour to your water – add ice cubes with Raspberries. Or if you just have some extra raspberries after your last dinner party.
They are drop-dead easy to make.
Just add a few raspberries into the icecube tray. Add water and freeze until you want to use them.

A great party snack
Strawberry Santas
Here is a cute tip to make small and big kids enjoy a healthy snack for christmas and advent.
What do you need?
1 lb large strawberries
1 pkg (8 ounce) cream cheese, softened
3-4 Tbsp powdered sugar (or sugar substitute – to taste)
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
Rinse the strawberries and cut around the top of the strawberry. Remove the top, (enough for a hat).
Clean out the whole strawberry with a paring knife, if necessary (some of them are hollow already. Prep all of the strawberries and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until creamy. Add cream cheese mix to a piping bag or Ziploc with the corner snipped off. Fill the strawberries with cheesecake mixture.
Once strawberries are filled, top with the ‘hats.’ Decorate according to photo.
If not serving immediately, refrigerate until serving.
Strawberry WaterMelon Juice
My favourite Juice is made of Strawberries and WaterMelon.
It has a beautiful color and the 2 fruits really compliments each other in taste.
For 2 Gallons (about 7.5 litres) of Juice I use 1 small watermelon and 1 kg strawberries.
Clean the watermelon from its seeds and clean the strawberries.
Mix in a blender.
Add 3-4 dl of Sugar (helps the taste as well as the durability) and fill the container with water until full. Shake well and serve cold!
Enjoy your Strawberry Watermelon Juice :D It’s Yummylicious !!
