Roasted strawberries are the solution we need . . .

When those strawberries go on sale, I will scoop them up without giving a second thought as to whether we will be able to consume them before they get too ripe.

There are so many ways to use these strawberries -- over pancakes, ice cream, sponge cake or cheesecake. Spooned on a wheat cracker and drizzled with some balsamic vinegar. And, of course, heaped on top of some baked brie and slathered on a chewy baguette!

Tip:  You need to try balsamic with strawberries, if you haven't already.  The balsamic vinegar compliments the sweet strawberries like you wouldn't believe!
