Ah, summer.

It is finally here. For months we were stuck in the Polar Vortex, freezing our tushes off, wishing for this time of year. How I longed to feel warmth!

When I think of summer, I think of the sunshine, the beach, fresh fruit and veggies and ice cream to keep me cool on a hot, sticky day.

One of my favorite summer fruits are strawberries.

There is nothing better than a fresh picked strawberry from a farm. All winter long I dream of it. Over the marvelous weekend, we headed out to a local farm for our first pick of the season. The plants were picked over quite a bit by the time we got there so we really had to hunt for the perfect strawberry. There may have been some Frankenberries that made their way into our containers.

As we were driving home, we started to brainstorm ideas on what to make with our haul.

Strawberry pie? Strawberry jam?

And then Ron suggested Strawberry Chocolate Chip Frozen Yogurt.

Oh my…YES!

I’ve had an ice cream maker for years but have only used it a handful of times. But since we made this recipe, I want to use it weekly. It is so good! I can’t wait to try this recipe with fresh blueberries, raspberries, blackberries…the sky’s the limit!

What food makes you think of summer?

  9. This looks amazing! My mom usually pulls out her ice cream machine over the 4th, so I need to send this recipe to her so we can give it a try! It’s almost blueberry season here, and I can’t wait to take the girls for our annual outing. We eat almost as many blueberries straight off the bush as we put into our buckets.
