The Daily Eat: Fresh Strawberry Bars.
I knew the day would come, I just wasn’t sure when. This week we have our first repeat offender on The Daily Eat – strawberries! They’re one of my very favorite summer foods and I have too many tasty recipes bookmarked not to share them with you. Besides, they’re in the prime of their season and we should all take advantage! I hope you enjoy Strawberry Week 2.0!
Fresh Strawberry Bars that let a strawberry be a strawberry without taking away from or adding to its natural goodness. These bars are really easy and I think it would be a snap to switch out the top for different berries!
