Strawberry Banana Bread

I know strawberry season might be over (or at least the peak season is) but as long as there are strawberries at the farmer’s market, I consider it to be strawberry season. And I’m not alone. Three weeks ago we had our monthly Food Bloggers of Los Angeles meeting and the topic was strawberries and… Continue reading Strawberry Banana Bread

Strawberry Pina Colada Popsicles

Many, many years ago I had a summer job at a Mexican restaurant in Northern California. I was the hostess, so I didn’t learn many recipes working up front. I did however, get to taste several creations, including a delicious cocktail they called a Lava Flow. (Don’t worry, my version was sans alcohol since I… Continue reading Strawberry Pina Colada Popsicles

Parmesan-stuffed Chicken with Strawberries

It’s officially strawberry season. While most of us have been able to get strawberries all year, the fact that it’s not officially strawberry season means not only will the prices go down at the grocery stores and farmer’s markets but they’re going to be super sweet and seriously delicious. It’s during this time of year… Continue reading Parmesan-stuffed Chicken with Strawberries

Cap’n Crunch French Toast

My husband and I moved to the South Bay about 10 years ago.  We moved here because we both wanted to get out of Los Angeles and we’d been coming down here quite a bit on the weekends.  It’s a wonderful area, right on the beach.  And even though you’re only 30 minutes south of… Continue reading Cap’n Crunch French Toast

Strawberry Balsamic Syrup

Thanks to Rachel over at La Fuji Mama, I’ve discovered that it’s pancake week.  And tomorrow is officially Pancake Day. Evidently it’s a holiday celebrated the week before Lent.  Since meat, fish, dairy products and eggs are forbidden during Lent, this is the last week you’re allowed to partake in cheese, milk and other dairy… Continue reading Strawberry Balsamic Syrup

Strawberry Goat Cheese Salad

A few months ago, Barbara of Vino Luci Style tweeted she was making roasted chicken with strawberries, caramelized pecans and balsamic dressing.  She sent out a picture and I was immediately hooked.  But since she hadn’t posted the recipe yet, I was forced to imagine how wonderful it tasted.  Although I didn’t get to taste her… Continue reading Strawberry Goat Cheese Salad
