Mascarpone Strawberry Shortcake

The other day I tried something new! I cleaned and sliced a large basket of strawberries. I added about 1 Tbsp. of sugar and allowed them to macerate for about an hour. In my mixer I added about 1/2c. mascarpone cheese with the strawberries, juice and all, and whipped them up. I served this over buttermilk biscuits and garnished with fresh basil. A fun twist on an old classic.

Trader's Delight

OK, Trader Joes did it again – they suckered me in with their sample station!!! You MUST try this – it’s amazing!
Trader’s French Toast (in the freezer section)
Mascarpone Cheese
Trader’s Fresh Strawberry Preserves
Heat up the French Toast (I highly recommend NOT microwaving them), spread on the mascarpone cheese and then the fresh strawberry jam and enjoy! It’s delightful. I even served it for dessert last night!
