No recipe for this one really; just boil yourself a lobster. Remove it from the shell. Chill. Plate. Enjoy.

More strawberries! And more crumble bars. These really are my “go to” thing when I need something quick and delicious, minimal effort, maximum output. And it helps if you just went strawberry picking an have homemade jam. This variety also has a bit of lemon zest in the shortbread and believe it or not, a little bit of thyme. No, it doesn’t taste “herby” though. 🙂
So every year, as always, I go Pick-Your-Own Strawberry Picking at Russell Orchards in Ipswich. This year was a little different as mask wearing and social distancing were required even on the farm, but overall it felt fairly normal and it was great to be out there. This means, of course, that I am working on this year’s strawberry treats — two varieties of jam-packed jam — Strawberry Elderflower and Strawberry Vanilla Bean. Both are delicious, unique and have a crazy level of fruit!
In the mood for pie but can’t be bothered to make a pie crust? Yes, that means it’s cobbler time — dessert these evening with ice cream. Puffy vanilla batter on self-picked strawberries from Russell Orchards and rhubarb from the Farm Stand. It was a little overly juicy, but that wasn’t really a problem. 🙂
Sticking to the All the Proteins!! theme, but going plant-based this time, here is a recipe for Honey Chipotle Snacking Nuts. I know, I know, I usually make candied nuts around Christmas time, no they are great around the campfire or on the beach too, so why not do a summer version? A little bit sweet, a little bit spicy and a whole lot of snack-worthy!
