If you haven’t already, don’t forget to enter our giveaway! I love reading all your comments, and just so you know, the reason I’m not replying to any of them (which kills me because I loooove replying!) is because I don’t want to enter myself into the giveaway. Thanks for all your feedback and lovely comments. 
Update: Giveaway is over.
I love summers in that there’s always cheap, fresh fruit available. Last week strawberries were really cheap so I picked some up and made this dish.
The dish is perfect for summer. Light, sweet, healthy. I love it and would like to have it at every meal. My kids ate it up, which is always a plus.
