It's summertime, it's hot outside and no one wants to be spending a ton of time in the kitchen! If you're having a few friends over or you just want to make your night at home a little more special, this recipe I created in collaboration with California Strawberries will definitely hit the spot! The sweetness from the strawberries, the savory flavors from the walnut and blue cheese combo, and the saltiness from the strips of prosciutto wrapped around the berries make a bite-sized treat that is bursting with flavor. Once you see how easy my Blue Cheese Stuffed Strawberries are to make, you'll be enjoying them throughout the summer and all year long!

Recently, I got together with my amiga, Yvette, of Muy Bueno Cookbook in Colorado, and we had a total blast creating our recipes and this video with beautiful, seasonal California Strawberries. Yvette's Strawberry and Pineapple Mojito is the perfect cocktail for these warm (ok, HOT) summer nights and it pairs really well with my appetizer! For these recipes and more check out CaliforniaStrawberries.com.

I love food facts, so here are a few "did you knows" about one of my all-time favorite foods, strawberries! 🍓🍓

  • 8 medium strawberries counts as one single serving of fruit
  • One serving of strawberries has only 50 calories, 8 grams of natural sugar and 3 grams of dietary fiber
  • A single serving of California Strawberries has less than half the sugar of an apple and and half the calories of a banana. (Source: USDA (2012). National Nutrient Database for Standard Reference.)

Enjoy!

A super-simple recipe to feature at you next summer gathering! You're only four simple ingredients away from making your next favorite appetizer. 

My amiga, Yvette, of Muy Bueno Cookbook made her Strawberry and Lime Mojito, which is the perfect summertime cocktail. Cheers, friends!
