Today I am excited to feature one of my favorite fruits: Strawberries!
I have teamed up with Fresh from Florida to promote local seasonal Florida produce. One of the great things about living in Florida is the availability
of fresh seasonal produce. I am Florida born and raised and I have fond memories of picking berries with my parents at local farms and visiting farmer’s markets…all year long!

In February, when everyone in the country (sorry guys!)
is suffering through snowstorms and freezing temperatures, Florida is celebrating Strawberry Season! They even have a Strawberry Fest in Plant City every Feb-March (I’ve been and it was both delicious and entertaining!).

Recipe from Fresh from Florida
Beautiful Florida Strawberries!
Rinse and slice your berries.
Make your cream filling: whipped cream cheese, sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla yogurt.
Crush 4 graham crackers. I like to do this by hand
so they aren’t too small and still have some texture and crunch.
Assemble your parfaits by layering cream, strawberries, and graham crackers until you have filled your glass.
Then top with more berries and a sprig of mint. Serve chilled.
I made cute strawberry hearts to garnish the top of my parfaits!
