I'm one of those people who are super obsessed with fruit whether it be pieces of actual fruit, fruity girlie alcoholic/non-alcoholic drinks, fruity dishes, etc etc! My favorite fruit by far, though, has always been strawberries.
Why, you ask? There are so many amazing things you can do with them!
(Hint: I've included lots of links to recipes throughout and after the blog. Keep your eyes open!)
1. If your sweet tooth comes a'knockin', dip your strawberries in sugar for an extra sweet treat!
2. On those hot summer days when you're hankering for a frozen treat while trying to keep away from ice cream, chop up a few and freeze them! (Or you could just toss some slices INTO your ice cream!)
3. Blend a handful of strawberries into your favorite margarita recipe for that extra fruity kick.

4. Love paint ball? Use old strawberries! They're much better ammo than paint balls.
5. Who doesn't love chocolate covered strawberries? There are so many ways to go about it!
6. Toss them into a blender and puree them as a sauce for your ice cream or cake!
7. Slice them over your cereal, pancakes, waffles, or oatmeal! Yum, yum!
8. Vodka infused strawberries! Get a tub of vodka, soak your strawberries (and other fruit) in there for 24 hours, freeze them, then pop them right into the drink of your choice. They serve as ice cubes and a nice buzz!
9. Strawberry slices go absolutely great with salad! You could also whip together a delicious
strawberry vinaigrette
10. Speaking of salad, do you use balsamic vinaigrette? Try drizzling a little of that over your strawberries!
11. Strawberry jam! Come on, who doesn't love that on toast?
12. Facials ladies? Mash 10 strawberries to a pulp, then add in 3-4 tablespoons of honey and mix together. Apply to your face, grab a good book and relax for a little, rinse off, then admire your smooth healthy skin.
13. Mash up a bunch of strawberries for some amazing organic body paint. Even art tastes great.
14. Cover a pizza dough shell with milk and / or white chocolate, top with sliced strawberries and sprinkle with shredded coconut for an awesome dessert pizza!
15. Strawberry milkshake or strawberry smoothie...It's so hard to choose!
16. For a quick, delicious breakfast: Grab a small bowl of yogurt, slice up some strawberries and layer them around the edges. Mix in some granola (and honey, if you'd like) and chow down!
17. Prepare a yummy strawberry, melon, and avocado salad

AHH! I love strawberries. [: Thanks for uploading this post~!
Yum! :)
oh i love this :)
OMG i love strawberries! awesome post
I love the idea of using them as ice cubes in vodka. Awesome.
@youngnsassy@xanga - It's absolutely delicious. If you let them soak long enough and melt a little while in your drink, the taste of vodka is very tame when you bite into them.
Strawberries and balsamic is an amazing combination!
yummy yummy yummy

Strawberries are delicious!! I like that idea about paintball with strawberry ammo, it'll probably hurt less than balls of paint and you'll smell like strawberries afterward =P (Not sure how to make strawberries into ammo balls though.)
#1 I've been doing since I was a kid.
CHOCOLATE COVERED STRAWBERRIES FTW.
<3

Absolutely LOVE this post! I used to dislike strawberries, but they're my fave now. :)
UGH!!! I hate you! 4 months too late for strawberry season. I'll have to wait another 8 months to try these recipes!! ><
mmm strawberries are so refreshing. all fresh fruit is, really. I love fresh strawberries with a nice ice cold bottle of water. That's it.
call me crazy... but i just like eating strawberries as is.
If they're overripe or a little sour, than maybe i'll do some of the stuff listed here
but perfectly juicy firm sweet strawberries are hard to come by these days, that when I do get them... I wouldn't want to waste it on anywhere except straight into my mouth!
(that's what she said)
for those of legal age,
strawberries + champagne = good pairing
strawberries have to be my favorite flavor of choice for anything! especially ice cream <3
OH GOD YESSS!!!! *Food-gasm* <3 I love Strawberries. These ideas are just yummers!
