We stopped by the Strawberry Farm on Friday and we didn't waist any time digging in!
I made angel food cake to eat with them. It turned out delicious. I added coconut and coconut extract to the recipe below. It was a hit!

Rated: rating

Prep Time: 10 Minutes
Cook Time: 40 Minutes
Ready In: 50 Minutes
Servings: 20
Ingredients:
12 eggs
1 1/4 cups confectioners' sugar
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup sugar
Directions:
1. Separate eggs; discard yolks or refrigerate for another use. Measure egg whites, adding or removing whites as needed to equal 1-1/2 cups. Place in a mixing bowl; let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, sift confectioners' sugar and flour together three times; set aside. Add cream of tartar, extracts and salt to egg whites; beat on high speed. Gradually add sugar, beating until sugar is dissolved and stiff peaks form. Fold in flour mixture, 1/4 cup at a time. Gently spoon into an ungreased 10-in. tube pan. Cut through batter with a knife to remove air pockets. Bake at 350 degrees F for 40-45 minutes or until cake springs back when lightly touched. Immediately invert pan; cool completely before removing cake from pan.








Rob and I always have our date night on Saturday's. This week while we were out, Gracey had fun making animal sugar cookies with princess sprinkles. What a lucky girl!



We enjoyed a Sunday evening watching the surfers ride some big waves



Beckham is 10 months and on his way to walking. He is incredibility dangerous right now and I can't let him out of my sight. I sweep multiple times a day because, he loves to eat Gracey's leftovers that have fallen on the floor. He smacks his lips when he sees food and wants to try everything. He's a tiny little guy weighing in at the 5th percentile. He takes a cat nap around 1pm and other than that he is on the move and well, so am I. His smile is absolutely charming. He loves to nestle his face into my shoulder for love and gives some pretty slobbery kisses.


Beckham has 1 tooth and 3 on the way. (hence the constant drool)
