Foodie Friday: Summer Strawberry Recipes

{ Via: Williams Sonoma }

Happy Strawberry Season, Friends! The prices finally came down to earth, and I bought several pints for homemade Strawberry ice cream this week. Summer's sweetest fruit, sadly is also the top the 2018 list of produce you need to buy organic, according to the EWG. Yikes! So at the minimum, wash them really well, and enjoy these sweet and savory recipes all Summer long.

HERE: 17 Sensational Strawberry Recipes

Strawberry Bourbon Shortcakes
Let's have dessert first, shall we? This recipe had me at "bourbon." It's an updated classic with bourbon infused strawberries, whipped mascarpone, and homemade buttery biscuits. Sure beats those spongy package 'cakes' we had as a child.
Half Baked Harvest

Strawberry Grapefruit Mimosas
Here's your next Summer gathering cocktail. It's filled with strawberries, grapefruit, tequila and topped with champagne. Cheers! 
Serena Bakes Simply From Scratch

Summer Salmon Strawberry 
Panzanella Salad
This salad is anything but boring, and everything I dream of. And if the flavors of the ingredients weren't enough, the dressing is a goat cheese vinaigrette. Yum!
How Sweet Eats

Strawberry Shortcake French Toast
This recipe will up your French Toast game with the melty custard filling. 
Bakers Royale 

Strawberry Basil Smashed Avocado Toast
If I ate bread, this would be my daily breakfast.  The sweet/salty/creamy combination of avocado, coarse sea salt and strawberries must be delicious.
Love and Lemons

Gluten Free Strawberry Cake With Brown Butter Glaze
This is cake heaven for those of you who eat gluten free or not! It's a dense strawberry filled bundt cake but full of flavor. It’s topped with the very best brown butter glaze. Garnished with sliced strawberries and a dusting of powdered sugar, it makes a
 pretty presentation.
The Seaside Baker

Strawberry, Lime, Cucumber and Mint Infused Water
Forget bottled water. This is what we all should be drinking this Summer. Not only is it healthy and refreshing, but it is dramatically beautiful.
Wholefully

Grilled Strawberries Romanoff
The perfect ending to a backyard barbecue.  Just a few minutes over the fire will concentrate the sugars in the strawberries. A perforated grill pan is a real plus. The secret ingredient is Grand Marnier which makes everything better.

Tropical Strawberry Hibiscus Rum Spitz
Here's your vacation in a glass. This layered libation has  so many fabulous ingredients like honey, coconut water, tea, pineapple and passion fruit juice and of course, rum. Cheers!
Half Baked Harvest

Strawberry Avocado Spinach Salad
This beautiful Summer salad is topped off with a simply poppyseed dressing. A must make!
Gimme Some Oven

Bourbon Strawberry Milkshake
Who wouldn't love a cool boozy sippable treat? Oh and by the way, it's made with Makers Mark! Sounds perfect for Father's day. If pops loves a shake, you might consider getting him a machine that he can use to make his own. Find a selection at Amazon.
Hungry Pinner

Brie, Bacon and Strawberry Grilled 
Cheese Sandwich
Well, doesn't this look like a slice of heaven? I think the secret is the thick slices of rustic bread. Yummy.
Heather Christo

Strawberry Rose Pie
The recipe comes from America’s Test Kitchen, and is basically just fresh strawberries tossed with a quick strawberry jam to bind it all together. Where does the title come from? The recipe calls for 1 tablespoon of Rose Water, but that's optional. You can make it yourself and here's how. Pie recipe at
Love and Olive Oil

Roasted Red Pepper & Strawberry Gazpacho
One of my favorite Summertime treats. A perfect warm day lunch would be a bowl of this with a glass of champagne. Adding strawberries even sounds better. A very interesting recipe.
Live Eat Learn

Strawberry Dutch Baby All Grown Up
Brunch beautiful! This huge puffy pancake, resembling a giant popover, makes for show—without much effort.

Grilled Salmon, Strawberries, and
 Nectarine Kabobs
Isn't everything better on a stick? These look fabulous. This recipe is another example how Salmon and fruit is a pretty pairing!

Roasted Strawberry and Basil 
Cream Pie
From the Kale & Caramel Cookbook, this is one pretty pie. And if you haven't tried basil with strawberries yet, you simply must!
