Foodie Extravaganza is where we celebrate obscure food holidays or cook and bake together with the same ingredient or theme each month. Posting day for #FoodieExtravaganza is always the first Wednesday of each month. If you are a blogger and would like to join our group and blog along with us, come join our Facebook page  Foodie Extravaganza . We would love to have you! If you're a spectator looking for delicious tid-bits check out our  Foodie Extravaganza Pinterest Board ! This month Kelly of Simply Inspired Meals is hosting the group as we shine the spotlight on strawberries. She wrote: "May is National Strawberry Month. Join us in creating recipes featuring strawberries as the star!" It was a timely invitation as I had just made a berry shortcake, by request, for my husband's birthday. Well, it was one of his requested treats. In any case, here's the  strawberry line-up from the #FoodieExtravaganza bloggers... Barbecued Strawberry Chicken From   Making Mira...

  This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of  Melissa's Produce . I received complimentary product for the purpose of review and recipe development, but all opinions are honest and they are my own.  This page may contain affiliate links. You can read in my recipe post - Passionfruit-Vanilla Panna Cotta - how  Melissa's Produce   ended up sending a selection of their ' Freaky Fruits ' to me and some of my Festive Foodies pals. And, because there was just too much goodness to fit into a two-day event, I am sharing some bonus recipes as I recipe test for October's #FreakyFruitsFriday.

The fruit is similar in texture to a cantaloupe or a kiwi; its flavor runs the gamut from sweet to tart to virtually non-existent. I prefer ones that are somewhere in between the first two. But, honestly, I haven't...

"Mom," said R. "Since it's the last day of my summer vacation, may I make some requests?" Sure. He proceeded to request saimin for dinner, waffles with macerated peaches for breakfast, and a ham and cheese sandwich in his lunchbox. Okay. So, this morning, I made waffles and he topped them with unsweetened whipped cream and macerated peaches. Peaches needs to macerate overnight, so plan to do it the night before. A friend admitted that she had to look up 'macerated.' It's so easy, but definitely elevates it from plain ol' chopped fruit! For adults I usually macerate in some kind of booze; for the kids, lemon juice works great. Ingredients 3 organic peaches, diced (approximately 3 to 4 C) 4 T freshly squeezed lemon juice 3 to 4 T organic granulated sugar 1 cinnamon stick 1 to 2 star anise 1/2 t freshly grated nutmeg 1/2 t ground ginger 1 t vanilla paste Procedure Place fruit in a large mixing bowl. Sprinkle with sug...
