Happy Easter


It's been a wonderful week of food.



On Monday, I decided to bring to our monthly potluck
* fresh strawberries, & vanilla ice cream topped with a balsamic reduction *

This was partially inspired by my recent visit to Molly Moon's ice cream shop in Seattle. Her balsamic strawberry ice cream is amazing~I have never made balsamic reduction before, but it turned out great. Than and I loved how the acidity of the vinegar brought out the natural sweetness of the strawberries and added an extra kick to our ice cream.


Then, for Easter lunch, I made my fantasy birthday deserts.
