I feel like we should really celebrate Spring this year. Like, REALLY celebrate it. Remember the phrase 'polar vortex'? Yeah. Eat them strawberries barefoot in the green green grass! because we never thought Spring would be here!
I'd rather chase the squirrels and deer away from my garden every hour than be cooped up in the house again. I'm finally ready to cross people off my list who told me St Louis has mild winters. These people did not shovel 12" of snow off my driveway so a moving truck could arrive. Those people just shrugged and said 'I swear this is abnormal.' But now? Now, we're carelessly leaving the windows open. Now, I'm sipping an Earl Grey latte on the front porch every morning like it's my job. It's so good. Soooo so good. Spring, will you marry me?
Every Saturday morning, I walk to the farmer's market and buy two baskets of strawberries; one to eat on the way home and one for baking.
I've been adding coriander to my desserts lately. I hope you didn't miss my Tangerine Coriander sorbet. I apologize greatly for the weirdness, but it brings a fresh 'green' flavor. Call me crazy, but strawberries + coriander tastes a bit like Fruit Loops. Yeah, I said it. You're gonna love it. But hey, if it scares you, leave it out. The strawberry-honey sauce is still good on top of ice cream without the ground coriander.
Use your favorite flavor of ice cream to make these sundaes. I'm using a fresh pineapple ice cream here, but everything from vanilla to chocolate would be fabulous!

Pinning this! In two weeks, strawberry picking season is here and we have a local u-pick farm that has the biggest baddest strawberries.
Coriander + dessert = hmmmmmm, let's do this!
I laughed so hard over your snow comment, we had 7 snow days here in the Niagara Falls/Buffalo area. Seven!!! We were in total lockdown mode all winter.

Faith @ Pixie Dust Kitchen says
I love the strawberry + honey sauce! I've been obsessed with that combination lately. I've never baked with coriander before, but if adding it to strawberries makes my ice cream taste like fruit loops, I'm totes in.s
Kim (Feed Me, Seymour) says
I love that you are tossing coriander into everything these days! It gives a much needed kick in the pants to bland desserts and lattes! :)
