garden to table - strawberry pie


last weekend, we invited friends over for our first summer barbeque outside on the deck.
summer is feeling so good.
with our strawberry patch brightly doing its thing, for dessert i made no-bake summer strawberry pie with cream cheese filling. highly recommended by all in attendance.

*real life: i did supplement the pie with store-bought strawberries piling them 6 inches high!


each day, i keep an eye on the strawberries to beat our squirrel and wild rabbit rivals to the sweet, scarlet feast. to find half nibbled red berries here and there in the patch.........grrrrrr!


the menu also included hamburgers, cuban pork sandwiches with pork expertly smoked by our friend clay, spring greens salad and cauliflower salad - just like potato salad but without the carbs. winner.


blue skies, hot sun, picnic table, shade, friends, strawberries, summer.

have a lovely weekend.
