Strawberries Are in Season - Get Them While They Last!

Some people love the winter, others love the cool wind of the fall and there are those that love the hot summer so they can spend time on the beach. Of all of the seasons, mine tend to be food focused. My favorite? Strawberry season!

As a Louisiana transplant, I have always been accustomed to celebrating Strawberry season, usually by consuming as many as possible. Fortunately I moved to another great Strawberry region - central Florida.

As a caterer in Tampa Bay, we do our best to integrate seasonal ingredients into our menus, so you'll find a plethora of Strawberry based dishes this time of year. Two of our most popular are Strawberry Shortcake and our famous Strawberry Spring Salad.


If you're looking for a great, light salad course this time of year, make sure it contains Strawberries. Ours consists of organic mixed spring greens tossed lightly with balsamic vinaigrette, then topped with chopped pecans, blue cheese crumbles and of course, ripe and fresh sliced Florida strawberries. If you're not a lover of blue cheese, go ahead and substitute goat cheese. Good Stuff.
