Don’t call it a Pizza or you will have soooo many people hating before they try it!! For this reason we are going to carefully call this a Strawberry Blue Cheese “Flatbread” . Aka a non traditional “pizza”. Or better yet, just make it, and put it out for guests to try without a label. …
Strawberry Short Angel Cake
Angel food cake is ALL about the technique! Unlike most cakes, angel cake does not include any leavening agents like baking soda or baking powder. Instead it relies on the whipped eggs to and an ungreased pan to raise the batter. The most difficult part of this cake is getting the eggs whipped into soft …
Banana Split Pie
As a part of Christina Tosi’s Milkbar class we were challenged to make our own original pie recipe. We had to create a flavor story and mine was as a child eating banana splits on a warm summer day. So I thought of a flavor combination that reminded me of that experience. I created a …
Easy Strawberry Bundt Cake
It’s summertime and that means lots of fresh fruit! My mom and I are both big fruit fans, especially berries. When I was visiting recently and she requested I make a special dessert for dinner I knew I could whip something up with the fresh strawberries she had in the fridge. Since I was in …
Classic Fruit Tart
This recipe is great to make in advance for a party. In order to make a proper fruit tart you need to have the proper fruit tart pans. I know what you are thinking. Ugh another specialized pan I need to make something? Not necessarily, you could use a regular pie pan, BUT it just …
American Pie
Today is the 4th of July, also known as Independence day. The day where we honor the independence of our nation by overeating at BBQs and decorating everything in red, white and blue.

Very Berry Jello Mold
Yes, another Jello mold, but hear me out! Jello sounds boring, old-school and might remind you of your grandma, but after giving it a try I have to say these 1950’s housewives were on to something. Jello by itself is a little boring, but replacing some of the water with creamy yogurt and adding in …
Strawberry Upside Down Cake
This cake looks super fancy and complicated, but is secretly simple. Made with box cake mix and requiring no frosting this recipe will impress your guests with minimal effort. The most challenging part of this cake is slicing and arranging the strawberries. I love fruit, especially berries, so I’m always finding ways to incorporate them …
Cucumber and Strawberry Salad
When the weather finally gets warm I’m always craving light and refreshing side dishes. The veggie that really epitomizes refreshing to me is cucumbers, crisp, juicy, mild and they can pair with just about any flavor. Strawberries were in season when I devised this recipe and I went a bit crazy purchasing more containers …
Easter Bunny’s “Carrot” Garden
Jesus turned water into wine and I’m turning Strawberries into Carrots. Well, sort of. For Easter I wanted to make something simple, easy, and fun. This is one of those posts where its not the recipe that is complicated but rather how you present it. Sure anybody can make pudding. But its how you transform …
Strawberry Cheesecake Eggrolls
This contemporary take on a classic dessert combines my love of chinese food and cheesecake. And honestly I couldn’t think of a better combination. This is the ultimate comfort dessert! The eggroll sized portions also makes it easier to transport and share (if you have any left after trying these). I ended up making …
