Open Fresh Strawberry Pie

I love farm-to-table cooking and fresh produce is at the heart of that. Strawberries from the fields can’t be beaten.  I do a lot with strawberries in the summer and this ie one of my favorites because it’s quick and easy.

Strawberry Cream Pie

Spring and Summer bring an abundance of sunshine and fresh fruit, especially juicy sweet strawberries which are the superstar of this fabulously simple no-bake Strawberry Cream Pie! This pie is easy to make, fluffy, yet creamy and packed with sweet deliciousness! You will definitely please any crowd with this amazing oldie but goodie! Enjoy!

Strawberry-Peach with Pineapple

A blast of the Tropics will envelop your mouth and wake up your taste buds, with this sweet, refreshing summer treat! The familiar flavors of strawberry and peach, coupled with the tang of one of my favorite tropical fruits, the pineapple! This will look beautiful, served in glass dishes, with a pineapple reduction sauce, drizzled over the top, and with a strawberry and peach slice, to garnish! You could also easily infuse one of the two elements of this cool dessert, with white rum, as a treat for adult gatherings!

Strawberry Cream Filled Angel Food Cake

Angel food cake is one of my favorites and this recipe doesn’t disappoint! I thought this was a fun spin to the regular way I’ve seen them made in the past, and who doesn’t like strawberries and cream? This is such a nice light and airy dessert that’s not very sweet. This recipe will make a 10-inch angel food cake, but I decided to try making the cake in my instant pot so I have also included the instructions on how to do that.

No Bake Strawberry Cheesecake

I love cheesecake and there is nothing better than a quick no-bake recipe. The worst part is waiting for the cheesecake and glaze to firm up enough to eat it! This cheesecake has all your favorite parts. The graham cracker crust, the yummy cheesecake filling, and a fresh and flavorful strawberry glaze. This glaze is a big hit with my family and friends that I use on all of my baked and no-bake cheesecakes.

Pierogi

I’ve never had the pleasure to have pierogi before. They are soft and tender dumpling-like envelopes filled with your choice of savory or sweet, pan-fried in butter to perfection. Here I’ve given you a few different fillings to think about, get creative and have fun making these. *This recipe is for a small batch*

Strawberry-Banana Bread

Living in FL we have an amazing growing season because the sun is usually shining. Beginning of March while much of the rest of the nation is still freezing, we’re rolling out the Strawberry Festival in Plant City which is attended by people from around the world. You can find more information on that here With an abundance of strawberries at my fingertips, I am always finding fun ways to play with them. Here I decided to take an old favorite, banana bread and sweeten it up. Strawberry Banana is all the rage so why not mix them in a …

Strawberry Madeleines

Madeleines are small sponge cakes with distinct shell-like shapes and while there is no doubt they came from France, their actual origin story has many legends. All I know is they are light little delights of goodness. These can be made with so many different fruits, flavoring through extract, spices, and more. Play with these and have fun!!!!

Berry Chocolate Cookies

These Berry Chocolate Cookies are amazing because they vary so much depending on what you use, they can be tart from the berry and sweet from chocolate or sweet from the berry while being savory from the chocolate. Here I used Strawberry and White Chocolate but, I have also made these with raspberries, blueberries, and blackberries so have fun with these and make them your own 🙂 Just remember to chop down larger berries. You can also switch up the chocolate you want to use, not everyone likes white.

Berry Chocolate Scones

I’m generally not a fan of scones but these are cake-like and can be switched up with the seasons or your tastes Scones (pronounced like gone) originate from the Scottish ‘bannock’, which is derived from the Gaelic for cake and made using a thin, round, flat combination of oats and wheat flour. As with all of my recipes, I want you to jump off and run with it. In these I used strawberries and milk chocolate chips but use whatever berry and chocolate you’d like, if using brown chocolate maybe add 1/4 to 1/2 tsp of cinnamon to really bring that …

Berry Hand Pies

Berry hand pies are a great quick grab-and-go breakfast, a nice easy snack or an awesome dessert, especially warmed up with some ice cream. These are fairly simple to make and can be totally yours with your choice of berry and maybe adding a little spice like cinnamon, nutmeg, apple pie spice, pumpkin pie spice, etc.
