There isn’t much that makes me smile more than good food. Well, maybe good food and free stuff! Today I’m partnering with Kizmos to make your good food even more fun! I’ll be sharing a super easy recipe for Fresh Strawberry Syrup (we’re talking . . . two ingredients and a blender, easy) and giving you a chance to win some “happy” kitchen gadgets. First the recipe, then the gadgets.
Don’t blink, or you’ll miss the recipe. It’s really easy and incredibly quick.
Fresh Strawberry Syrup
You’ll need:
- 1 cup fresh strawberries (you can use frozen, but fresh is better)
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- High-powered blender (I use the Blendtec Total Blender.)
Ready for this? Wash the strawberries and plop them into the blender. (If you have a Blendtec, you don’t have to cut them or anything.) Add the sugar. Blend until you have a deliciously red syrup. (For the Blendtec, just press the soup button.) Drizzle over your favorite ice cream, cheesecake, pancakes, waffles, french toast . . . you get the idea. Does it get any easier than that?
Now for the gadgets! Kizmos products just make me happy! I love the fun colors and giant smiley faces.
My kiddos have been super excited to try out these happy tools, so I decided to let them help me with the cooking. We took everything over to Grandma and Grandpa’s and made them a five-star breakfast (at lunch time)!
Our favorite gadgets are the spoonula (scrapes and stirs) and the pizza cutter. Let me let you in a little secret about pizza cutters. If you have little ones, then pizza cutters are not just for pizza! If you don’t enjoy spending your entire breakfast cutting up pancakes, waffles, or french toast, just pull out the pizza cutter! Zip, zip, zip! Your cutting is done, and everyone gets to eat their breakfast while it’s hot! Depending on the age of your kiddos, you might never have to cut again! Mine have all mastered the pizza cutter method. (Just do the opposite of my picture. Cut first. Add toppings second. It’s a lot less mess.)
Something about cooking and serving with a literal smile makes the job just a little bit more fun!
So, do you want to win some kitchen gadgets? Kizmos is offering everything they sent to me to one lucky reader. Good luck, and enjoy your strawberry syrup!

I do not comment, but after browsing a lot of comments on
Quick and Easy Fresh Strawberry Syrup and Kizmos Giveaway –
onecreativemommy.com. I do have 2 questions for you if you tend not to
mind. Could it be just me or does it look like like
some of these remarks look as if they are coming from
brain dead visitors? :-P And, if you are writing at other places, I’d like to keep up with you. Could you make a list of the complete urls of your social community pages like your twitter feed, Facebook page or linkedin profile?
Wonderful blog you have here but I was wondering if you knew of any forums that cover the
same topics discussed in this article? I’d really love to be a part of group where I can get responses from other knowledgeable individuals that share the same interest. If you have any recommendations, please let me know. Thanks!
I don’t even know how I ended up here, but I thought this post was great. I do not know who you are but certainly you’re going to a famous blogger
if you are not already ;) Cheers!
Great blog! Do you have any suggestions for
aspiring writers? I’m hoping to start my own blog soon but I’m a little lost on everything.
Would you recommend starting with a free platform like WordPress or go
for a paid option? There are so many choices out there that I’m completely confused .. Any ideas? Thanks a lot!
My spouse and I absolutely love your blog and find many of your post’s to be just what I’m looking for.
Does one offer guest writers to write content to suit your needs?
I wouldn’t mind publishing a post or elaborating on a number of the subjects you write concerning here. Again, awesome website!
