I have been dying to make this recipe since I first saw the picture on Good Things Catered. If you have a chance- check out her blog. Her recipes are amazing! Well, tonight I had some strawberries about to go bad in the fridge and thought this would be the perfect time to make them! My husband has the day off tomorrow and this will be the perfect breakfast treat.
