June - Strawberry Theme Dinner Club

The gals again were amazing and creative and dinner was berry, berry good!

Grapes presented an unique twist to a traditional bruschetta with Strawberry Ricotta Bruschetta.
The variety of flavors of strawberry, balsamic and arugula were a party in your mouth!

She brought an accompanying  Malbec that paired nicely with all those flavors.


Couscous broke out of her comfort zone by making her own pizza dough for a Strawberry, Goat Cheese, Pistachio Pizza.  A surprisingly tasty combination that is assembled cold atop of the just baked pizza crust and served immediately.

Saucy shared a wine she picked up many moons ago in Upstate NY, that we detected a taste of flowers and a hint of  mustiness - reminiscent of a funeral home!  LOL! Eh, you win some, you lose some!  You never know until you try!

She made up for it with her dessert - homemade strawberry ice cream with a strawberry crisp!  It was a perfect ending to another wonderful night.
(And yes, you must return the ice cream maker!)

While it first seemed strawberries would be an easy ingredient to work with, it ended up being more challenging than we thought, but the end results were fantastic!  Another job well done!  Stay tune for next month which is going to put us all to the T-E-S-T!
