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!

Great! Now I have to decide whether to put this on Blue Bell Homemade Vanilla or Natural Vanilla Bean! :)

Finally made my way to your blog. LOVE your intro video and these sundaes are just perfect for summer. Eagerly awaiting berry season in my neck of the woods.
Jessica @ Sweet Menu says
YUM! Gosh they look good. And how ruby red are your strawberries - amazing!

I love strawberries. I like coriander. I don't go out of my way to eat fruit loops. But I am not one to resist a fresh strawberry sundae, so I am flowing with it.
Sues says
I guess I need to try strawberries and coriander :) These are SO stunningly beautiful!
Jamie@Milk 'n' Cookies says
I agree -- this winter was brutal. I feel like we really deserve spring this year, ya know? And this sundae tastes like Fruit Loops? That sounds incredible! I can't wait to try your combo of coriander and strawberries once we get our first fresh strawberries of the season (still haven't seen the at the farmer's market, but they're probably soon to come. We scored some radishes and asparagus earlier this week, and I'm hoping the strawberries are next!)
Adrienne says
Uh.... If adding coriander will make this taste like fruit loops, then I am out.... I want it to taste like strawberries! I will,try the recipe without it and see what I think.
Jessica @ A Kitchen Addiction says
This is my kind of strawberry sundae! Love the strawberry sauce!
Diana Johannesen says
