Strawberries Galore

We had baskets of organic strawberries left from our berry picking so Alia and I made two quick recipes with them.

1. Three ingredient popsicles. Combine coconut milk, one ripe banana, strawberries into an immersion blender and place into silicone popsicle sticks. After 3 hours, we had delicious, creamy popsicles.

2. Easy strawberry galette. I use ready made puff pastry, sprinkle top with brown sugar and flour to prevent it from getting soggy. Combine 2 C. sliced strawberries with 3 tbsp brown sugar, 1 tbsp flour and 1 tsp vanilla. Brush pastry with milk and sprinkle with sugar. We used pink sparkling sugar we had on hand to make it more fun. Bake at 425 for 30-40 minutes. It was a little on the tart side, so next time I might increase sugar to 5 tbsp.

 So fun for Alia and we got to make good use of the berries.
