 The weather is warming up (it is here at least) and warm weather means it is strawberry season! I love strawberries and every time they're on sale I have to buy them! Well, as you may recall, the last time strawberries were on sale I stocked up and my mom and I showed youhow to can your own strawberry jam. Well, this time around I was in the mood for a sweet treat, so I made strawberry shortcake!

Strawberry shortcake has got to be one of the easiest, lightest, and freshest desserts out there! The great thing about this recipe is that if you take the first four ingredients I list for the cake you can make your own homemade Bisquick mix and make a huge batch! Then you can make strawberry shortcake all the time. If you use a batch of the mix, use two cups to make this strawberry shortcake. Since it is a Bisquick type mix, the shortcake itself is more of a sweet biscuit. It's light and sweet, and lets you focus on the flavor of the sweet strawberries and cream!

This is a quick and easy strawberry shortcake recipe, and its the perfect ending to any summer meal!

Just as a quick and final side note, as you may recall, we have partnered with Uber! You can click on our links to start the process of becoming a driver partner with Uber. It's a great way to make some extra cash on the side.

Well, as a woman, you may have some apprehensions about driving with Uber but a girl's gotta hustle too! Uber's safety features are designed to help you feel more secure in your decision to drive. 

Here are a few highlights that should help give you added peace of mind while you're doing that weekend hustling.

Share Your Trip
In case you're ever feeling unsafe or if you just want to let your friends know where you are, you can activate the "Share My Trip" feature within the Uber Driver-Partner app. Just go to your settings and with a tap of a button, invite people from your contacts list to see where you are on the road. They won't see any details about the rider on your trip but they can keep an eye on where you are.

Turn this on when you're about to finish your last trip of the day and head over to a girls' date! This is a doubly good feature since your gals will know you're on your way and can confirm when you get there.

Riders Must Share Details
Before a user starts taking rides with Uber, they must create an account using their phone number, name and electronic payment. Riders are not anonymous and Uber keeps records in the case you need to report anything related to the rider. Obviously these details are not shared between riders and you but there's an added layer of protection if you do need to get in touch with a rider. Also, Uber anonymizes phone numbers so that riders won't have your personal number and vice versa.

Round the Clock Support
Uber has response teams on call 24/7 for any incidents that need support. Whether a rider forgot their wallet in the back of your car or left a bit of a mess, you can contact Uber support for help with next steps to get it resolved. You will always have access to help when you need it from their support team!

Please keep in mind there are a few requirements to be eligible to drive with Uber! Driver requirements include, but are not limited to:
- Be at least 21 years of age
- Have at least one year of licensed driving experience in the U.S. (Three years if you are under 23 years old)
- Have a valid U.S. driver's license
- Use an eligible 4-door vehicle
- You can get started HERE on the sign up process!

Sorry this post is a little late, I was a little out of it last week. This year PH and I hosted Easter dinner at our house. I always like having family gatherings in our home, it's part of the reason we bought this house, it's a great space for parties. Of course, clean up afterwards is always a hassle, but I love having family in my home where we can laugh and make memories. Plus, its so much easier with a tiny one to have the event in your home. You can still stick them in their own bed for nap time and you don't have to deal with an overtired baby crying the whole way home because she doesn't understand why you won't hold her when she doesn't want to be in her car seat.

Anyway, my mom and discussed beforehand what we would have for dinner. My SIL isn't a huge fan of ham. She always tells us not to plan a meal around her preferences, but I am not a huge fan of ham either, so I was happy to opt for something else. We discussed lamb, but that can be so expensive. Well I had pork loin in my freezer, so I suggested we have that. My mom had some in her freezer so we each made one. She did a completely different recipe for hers, so it was nice to have options. Maybe she will share her recipe here.

I decided to make this Balsamic Brown Sugar Pork Roast. I had seen a recipe for something similar, but with bourbon. Well, I don't drink alcohol, and I know they say it burns off in the cooking, but alcohol is also expensive to buy and since I'm on unpaid leave at work. I decided to work with what we have. I thought Balsamic vinegar would pair nicely with brown sugar for that sweet and sour flavor. PH really loves the sweet and sours, and he asked me later if we could make that sauce and put it on everything. Balsamic Brown Sugar Everything! I don't know about necessarily putting it on EVERYTHING, but this Balsamic Brown Sugar Pork Roast was certainly a hit!

At the end of the dinner when we were cleaning up, there was only a small portion of this Balsamic Brown Sugar Pork Roast left!

The great thing about this recipe is how the meat really falls apart. You could make balsamic brown sugar pork roast pulled pork sandwiches if you end up with any left overs!

I asked my mom if I could be the one to share the Deviled Eggs recipe with you to help you get ready for your Easter dinner and she said yes. Growing up, every time we had a family gathering that included a meal, my aunt Karen brought the deviled eggs. It sort of became mandatory for her to do so because everyone wanted them. They were (and are!) always so delicious, and you'd want to make sure you got to them first before they ran out. So, thanks to my aunt Karen I've grown up loving deviled eggs, and I really wanted to share this recipe with you.

First things first, you really need to know how to hard boil eggs. If you do it right they'll be easy to peel. Did you know that fresher eggs are harder to peel? As eggs get older the egg white shrinks. Well, since you don't want to use old eggs, here is how to hard boil them.

1. Place the eggs in water with baking soda. 

2. Put on the stove on high heat and bring to a boil.

3. Boil the eggs for one minute (use a timer).

4. Cover the eggs, turn the heat off and let the eggs sit covered on the hot burner for another 10 minutes. (Time it again.)

5. After ten minutes put the eggs in ice cold water and leave for five minutes.

If you follow those steps your shells will peel beautifully and easily and you'll have lovely deviled eggs.

Now normally I'd probably use a hand blender to mix all the ingredients together because it gets them really smooth. However, this time around my little helper had worn herself out making deviled eggs, so I just had to use a fork. Either method works just fine. I also used a ziplock bag and a piping tip to fill the eggs to give them that pretty design. You can use a piping bag and tip, or just scoop with a spoon.

Finally, my aunt Karen puts bacon bits in her deviled eggs. I didn't have any bacon bits when I made this batch, but I still included them in the recipe because... bacon bits are good.
