Now, I’d like to say that my way with food comes from my creative genius that just can’t be confined to things like recipes and organization…..but the reality is, this is all I can handle! Looking through cookbooks, going to the grocery store with a long list, coming up with recipes for an entire week at a time (!) all overwhelm me!! Using what I have to make something delicious, though? That I can handle.

Gorgeous!!! Especially for just winging it, geez! I am the opposite, I’m a planner, mainly when it comes to meals. I don’t plan my baking because my mood changes with the wind. I love balsamic vinegar and strawberries together!

Delish! I have received many strange looks when I serve strawberries and Balsamic, but quickly convert folks to this yummy combo. I’ve not paired it with mozzarella, so now I have something new to try!

Yummy! I love fresh mozzarella and balsamic.. especially in bruschetta form, but this looks so good! I will have to try it. It’s so easy, too. Thanks!

Since I’m not a huge fan of tomatoes, I would much prefer substituting strawberries. This looks amazing! And I wouldn’t have thought of adding sugar to the balsamic vinegar. Ok… I have a box of strawberries in the fridge, have the balsamic vinegar, and now off to the store for fresh mozzarella! Good thinking, girl!!!!
