Happy
Sunday! This past week I took a break from the giveaways so prepare for the next round of foodie goodies. Now we're back with another great bundle of things to share and giveaway for the coming weeks. This week's giveaway is all about my favorite fruit - strawberries.
Not too long ago, I attended a special event with the California Strawberry Commission. I'll be featuring that specific event at the end of the week along with the amazing strawberry dishes I got to enjoy. But from that event, I learned so much about strawberries. I can't wait to share some of the recipes I took away in the coming weeks! For this week's giveaway, the California Strawberry Commission has sponsored their new strawberry cookbook! The new cookbook features 45 different ways to enjoy strawberries.
From Strawberry Shortcake Sliders to Strawberry and Goat Cheese Pizza,
the cookbook offers an array of recipes for every meal or snack, any
time of year. The cookbook features:
- More than 45 recipes, categorized by dish type
- Complete recipes and dish photos
- Fun facts about strawberries
- Tips on how to select and store strawberries
- List of health benefits
With a new fascination on the timeless art of home cooking and nutrition, the California Strawberry Commission created this cookbook filled with creative ways to serve one of the most popular fruits in the world. Readers will find recipes ranging from Strawberry and Goat Cheese Pizza and Macadamia-Crusted Halibut with Grilled Strawberry and Mint Relish, to Strawberry Mango Smoothie and Strawberry Shortcake Sliders.
Some guidelines:

I love a good strawberry pie!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite way to enjoy strawberries is in a fruit salsa. Love to mix with other fruits and use cinnamon chips to dip with! :)
ReplyDeleteHave done the HCG diet several times, and strawberries are one of the only approved fruits on it, so smoothies have saved me! frozen strawberries, vanilla and some stevia in a blender... divine!
ReplyDeleteStraight off the plant, and if they're warm from the sun - even better!
ReplyDeleteStrawberries are my favorite fruit! Favorite is probably strawberry shortcake though.
ReplyDeleteI like making strawberry pancakes.
ReplyDeleteI am so unhealthy....I like to take fresh strawberries and dip them in a bit of sweetened condensed milk (usually thinned out with a bit of milk). mmmmm
ReplyDeleteMy favorite... always whatever I made with them last... which in my case is a fruit compote served warm over ice cream... to heck with hot fudge!!!
ReplyDeleteI love strawberries in smoothies with frozen yogurt!

Although I love them straight off the plant, my favorite way to eat strawberries is when they are chocolate covered. Yum!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE strawberries in any way shape or form but the absolute best is right off the vine. I grew up in California and my grandparents had strawberries in the yard. Even with that, we would go every year to a pick-your-own farm for more so we would have frozen strawberries and strawberry preserves through the rest of the year.
ReplyDeleteWith barely warm freshly baked pound cake and real whipped cream slightly sweetened.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite way to enjoy strawberries is fresh!
ReplyDeleteI worked 1 summer picking berries for school clothes $$ as a kid & didn't have a very fancy wardrobe that year. Discovered how tasty berries were right off the plants. While they're great as jams & salsas, etc., my favorite is fresh.
I love baking strawberry rhubarb bars or crumble. Yum!
ReplyDeleteSo hard to answer since I love strawberries ever way!!!! But I do especailly love strawberry trifle...layers of cake, pudding, strawberries and whipped topping...YUMMY!!!!!!!
ReplyDeletefresh with balsamic syrup!
