Oh, I should make some of this for the next strawberries I buy! The funny thing is that yesterday I was going to post a photo almost exactly like this one (only with home made whipped cream on the strawberry) as the photo for my week's menu plan. When I saw that you had it here, I decided to save it for later just in case anyone clicked over to my blog from here. It just occurs to me that it would have been funny if I had gone ahead and used it. I guess we were on a similar wavelength.

about this blog

Hello, I'm Summer. A people-loving introvert whose hope and life is in Jesus. His promises are my passion and my ministry is homelife. This blog is a place for me to write about everyday things. Especially food. My favorite thing to do is sit around a table, lingering over a long meal with good conversation. I live with my husband and our 2 littles. We like blizzards, thrifting, grammar, guacamole, cheerful hearts, nice manners, good movies, and making simple, real, nutrient-dense food.
