Addicted!

Something you have to know about me...
I LOVE strawberries! I have for as long as I can remember. I could eat them everyday. I have all kinds of strawberry collectibles. My mother even has a set (or 2) of dishes to give me when I get married. Oh mom... 

Today, I kept thinking about the graham cracker crust I have had sitting on my counter.
Another thing you need to know about me...
If I get it in my head that I'm going to make something I will just do it. I won't wait until it's 5:00, or whatever. I will do it when I feel like it. (It's a perk to living alone).
so.... I came home and set to work!!

My goal for the night was to make the most wonderful strawberry pie ever using the old ladies church cookbook. Everything old ladies put in those cookbooks are amazing!
I got my two big cartons of strawberries and came home and cut them up (on my amazing new cutting board.) I ended up cutting WAY too many up (oops) so I was thinking to myself. Self, what are you going to do with all of these delicious looking slices of strawberries. And self said back to me You should definitely roast them! Great idea!!

Here they are! I just tossed them with a little olive oil and sugar. Put them in the oven on 400 for about 6 minutes and voila!

So, here I sit, with the most wonderful smelling roasted strawberries. I didn't think my plan through enough because I had NO idea what I was going to eat them with.

The smell of them reminded me of this little Bavarian restaurant in Colorado we ate for breakfast at like 10 years ago.

I decided to make french toast! Instead of topping with butter and syrup I put cream cheese and roasted strawberries on top. Oh my goodness, I wish I could sent samples through the internet for all of you to try. I guess that's why I'm giving you my recipes though! :) It wasn't the most beautiful thing, but it tasted glorious!! I even busted out the old school home made strawberry plate! I will definitely be making that again!



My Strawberry pie turned out fantastic as expected! I will just link the picture from Instagram because my camera was connected to my computer when I finished it. Here it is!

Now that I'm all done cooking for the evening I'm going to treat myself to a little R&R.
