Feeding Baby | Strawberry Oatmeal Yogurt Pops

Honest mom moment here: Last weekend I let my daughter have a popsicle for breakfast. Actually she had two - because after she devoured the first one I couldn't help but answer her plea for "more, pease". These Strawberry Oatmeal Yogurt Pops were designed from breakfast anyway.

"Keep it simple" is probably the best cooking advice to remember this time of year. Fresh peas, tart cherries, tender spring greens, even sweet strawberries don't need much to dress them up. 

But what kind of food blogger would tell you that the best way you could enjoy those tiny, tender, sweet, spring strawberries is with a little whip cream or a drizzle of red wine? A boring one, thats what kind.

{Thirsty Thursday}: Strawberry Shrub

Why, yes, I am talking about drinking a shrub, and, no, I don't mean a plant. I mean the sweet, vinegary concoction that can be made with whatever berries are in your fridge that pairs decidedly well with soda water. Oh, and gin. 

Vanilla Roasted Strawberries

Keep it simple. That's what spring and summer cooking is for. Little ripe berries don't need a lot of fuss, so I won't muck them up with word upon words. Here are the only two things I feel compelled to say:

Welcome to the ides of March, it's strawberry season; Here are some things worth reading, viewing, and eating from the week of March 12:

Irvin Lin's post on Google Plus for Food Bloggers caught my attention, so I joined Google + . I already Tweet, Tumble, Facebook, and Pin, so I'm not sure how there will be time for much else.

The piece on Cookbook Ghostwriters  from the NYT got a little backlash on Twitter. Regardless of whether you consider yourself a writer or an author, its be nice to see recipe developers get a little more credit - even if its on an acknowledgement page in the very back of the book. For the record - I'm not complaining - I've certainly been given credit where due and am fortunate to have good work relationships.

THIS VIDEO is an absolute must watch (dice = dice, c'mon!) and for a laugh this one too.

Go read Tami's post about Silence, Spring and Strawberries and then make her cake.

This weekend is a busy one, but I'd like to squeeze in a field trip to this place. Hmm a fried chicken field trip...

Happy Friday everyone!
