roasted strawberry salad



If you'ld be here right now...
On this exact moment... 
I'm pretty sure you'ld lick my bowl, girl.
{not in the nasty kind of way... dude, behave}
I'm damn sure you wouldn't be able to resist the smell that's coming right out of my oven filling the entire room.



Roasting your strawberries for the first time is a pretty scary thing to do.
I know.
You're convinced you'll ruin those lovely fresh and deep pink babies.
Little do you know only ten minutes later, if you dare to jump, they will taste even sweeter, juicier and more intens than ever before.
Jump with me!
