What’s the strawberry treat above? It’s a simple and surprisingly delicious dessert. A bowl of quality vanilla ice cream, topped with sliced strawberries and drizzled with good aged balsamic vinegar. I know it sounds a little crazy, but it’s a pretty incredible, fresh, perfect for summer dessert. Go out on a limb and try this one. Do it for me.

Congrats on your blog doing so well and congrats to the lucky winners! Gotta love it! Your ice cream with strawberries and balsamic sounds like a good idea. My favorite salad dressing is a strawberry balsamic that I make. Yummy!
Might as well stay de-lurked….
I bought some beautiful strawberries from the Farmer’s Market today. This is a great idea for them… I’m adding a slice of 7-up cake to uh, anchor it.
I’ve never thought to try balsamic vinegar over strawberries and ice cream… I’m definitely intrigued! You have the best ideas!
You can never have too much ice cream! This sounds like a delicious way to welcome a warm summer weekend
You just made my day for winning the red velvet cookie giveaway. Ok…back to studying!
Strawberries and balsamic…one of my favorites. I usually reduce the balsamic to a more of a syrup consistancy but I will have to try it just plain from the bottle!
Yippppeeee!!!! I cant wait to try these cookies! Thank you Joy.
And I have some strawberrys in the fridge so I’ll slice them tonight and try a splash of balsamic on top!
Thanks for spreading the joy!
I’ve yet to try any of your recipes, I’m dying to try the Lemon Whoopie ones! I read everyday. Thought I would comment and tell you I found you thru a friend. I’m hopelessly addicted to reading your blog now. Its so yummy!!!
Cant wait to start trying your recipes. Loved your podcast too!
strawberries and balsamic is a totally underrated combo. I can’t wait till our Washington Strawberries arrive so I can enjoy it again. I usually serve it w/ a ricotta bavarian, but a perfect vanilla ice cream is another underrated delight!
Hello Joy,
My husband & I decided to cook breakfast together with our 20 month old son who loves to bake with us. We tried your Whole Wheat Banana Walnut pancakes and (once we remembered to put the baking powder in) we were so impressed and more importantly our little 20 month old guy ate 3 of them and LOVED them! Thanks for your blog. I enjoy it so much.

Waaaahhhh, who more deserving of those cookies than a new mom of two… oh well, when you have your own little munchkins you’ll be dreaming of having any time to cook at all. I did escape last night and make them though… a little disappointed- if I ever make them again I’ll probably exchange the “white” glaze for a more traditional cream cheese something or other. I did however add my batter to a pastry bag and piped nice clean circles and they turned out perfect as far as shape goes. Just a thought…
I’m using the rest of my strawberries and will probably add an angel food slice and drizzle some balsamic, plus add a little ice cream. Sounds perfect for summer- tomorrow is supposed to be 80 freaking degrees here, so it’ll be reminiscent of hot summer days!
This is one of my favorite desserts! It’s such a perfect combo of flavors.
I think I am shocked that you have only been at this for 5 months. Great job, great blog!
Woohooo!!!!! I cant believe I won…..I just called my sister and she told me that she has the perfect fabric for your new apron!
