πŸ“βœ¨ 10 Recipes where Strawberries Shine


Hi Reader,

Lately I've been preparing chia seed pudding for breakfast (recipe at the bottom of this email if you want to try!) that I top with sliced almonds for crunch, and sliced strawberries for sweetness before eating.

When I tell you the strawberries I've been enjoying this week taste 1,000% better than the strawberries I was eating back in April...

Translation: berry season in here!

Whether U-pick at a local farm, or snag a pack of juicy strawberries off the shelf at the grocery store, the recipes I'm sharing today highlight summer's sweetest berry - strawberries.

From freshly baked gluten free goods, to bountiful salads with strawberries as a topper AND in the dressing, classic desserts, and the drink you'll make on repeat all summer long, these recipes let strawberries shine!

platter of grilled chicken thighs

Hi Reader! My husband is a renaissance man, and is exceptionally good at grilling and smoking meats.
