Strawberries
 

WOOHOO!!! The strawberries are in season here. DH and DD's went yesterday and picked a HUGE flat of them. oh my, I think I'm switching from LC ice cream (it's starting to make me sick to my stomach anyway) to strawberries :lol: He was going to GIVE them to this older couple he knew. Guess he's gonna have to pick more ;)

Strawberries are like gold to me now! I can't believe it...they are soooo good.

I'm a big strawberry fan! They have a variety here called Hood Strawberries that are the most amazing things I have ever tasted in my life. :T

I want to get some heavy cream. whip it up and put it over some strawberries. Can you believe that sounds better than CHOCOLATE to me??? Yah, shocks me too!! :lol:

I do that! I'll cut up strawberries, add a little splenda if needed, make some whipped cream using my german chocolate cake DaVinci sf syrup and then layer it into a wine glass or martini glass. Yummy and very princess-like ;)

I still don't have any DaVinci syrup. All I've got is the Walden Farm chocolate sauce which tastes YUMMY. So maybe I'll make half "plain" and half for just eating :)

Please tell me where you get the DaVinci SF syrup. I've looked at the health food stores and I heard that TJ Maxx has it sometimes, but we don't have a TJ Maxx. Do I need to order it or can it be purchased from a regular supermarket?

I believe some of the women on here order it off from the online store. I know the grocery stores around my area don't have it. It's why I've used Walden Farms

I can find them almost everywhere lately. All the low carb stores have them. Grocery stores have them. But for me it's been about the price. Since most places charge around $8.00 a bottle (well worth it, but still!) If you have a place like United Grocers around, they have every flavor you can come up with and they're only around $3.50 per bottle.

We don't have any United Grocers around here that I know of, but I'm diligently checking the few supermarkets we have. I did find two bottles at Marshall's. They have a small gourmet section on some shelves at the back of the store around their cookware, frames, dishes, etc. I paid $5.99 for a SF hazlenut syrup and the only other thing they had was a SF lemon tea (very condensed) so I bought it also. As soon as induction is over I'm going to make the flax muffins using the hazlenut. I want the brown sugar but can't find it yet.
