Pussy willows for spring
When I was a little girl, I knew when spring was near, because my mom always brought pussy willows into the house for springtime decor! They come from a bush with little furry things that looked like soft, fluffy kittens, eventually forming into little yellow flowers.
Since my kitchen always feels better with a touch of life, I bought some pussy willows (at Costco) and placed them in a tall vase, for a recent dinner party!
In the meantime, getting ready for my girlfriends to come to dinner, I had my menu planned, dessert made (yummy recipe below), but I had to tackle getting the kitchen ready.
Is my kitchen always clean? No way, but hosting a dinner party makes me get in there and clean in all the nooks and crannies. I’ve come to the understanding that kitchens are to be lived in, and unless everybody is going to stay on top of the dishes, etc., it’s simply not always going to be neat and clean.
How to make strawberry pie dessert
The shortbread crust only takes about ten minutes to make–press it right into the pan–and then pop into the oven.
Let it cool (while began the cleaning process).
Slice strawberries with an egg slicer
After cooling, make a white-chocolatey cream to spread on the cooled shortcake. Wash the berries and pull out the egg slicer. Buy this FAVIA Hard Boiled Egg Slicer (for Mushroom Strawberry Cherry Tomato Kiwi Fruit), with 9 blades, and dishwasher safe!
Before I finished the dishes, I whipped the cream (set back in the fridge), and made the glaze to pour over the strawberries.
A delicious Strawberry Cream Shortbread Dessert, served with whipped cream!
My house wasn’t perfect, but I felt I gave it my best shot, making it sparkly clean and organized for company!

I LOVE pussy willows!!
Sandy! this has my name ALL over it!! We’ll be making this soon!
Love the idea of microwaving some swiffer wipes! This dessert looks so simple and perfect for a spring get together. Big hugs, friend!
I’ve been craving spring desserts and this just fits the bill! I can’t wait to try it.
Love this beautiful dessert and the organization tips, thank you. I love to have all food prep done ahead, but it doesn’t always happen. I also try to piggy back events to make the most of a clean house!
My husband and I spent most of yesterday afternoon cleaning for a homeschool meeting at my house tonight. I love it when he helps me clean. He pays so much more attention to things I don’t.
When I have people coming over everything is done (except last minute cooking) the day before.
