strawberries with brown sugar and sour cream

I’m back, if only for a moment. I’ve missed you all so much these past few weeks. As I’ve been going about my new daily routine (feed the baby, burp the baby, change the baby, repeat, then repeat again), I think of posts that I would like to write and recipes that I would like to make. I itemize grocery lists, plan the photos I’m going to shoot and then…it never happens. Any spare moment I have turns into a quick nap, another load of laundry or an all-too-brief television show (during which I usually fall asleep). My list of blog to-do’s just grows longer and longer.

I know that life will return to normal soon. Things will calm down and eventually I will be able to sleep (and blog) again. But for right now, I don’t have time to bake a batch of double chocolate brownies or magic bars just to satisfy a sweet tooth. Instead I’ve been relying on the quickest, easiest, tastiest dessert I can think of: strawberries dipped in sour cream and brown sugar.

No recipe required. Just choose sweet strawberries, dip in cool sour cream and finish with a bit of brown sugar. It’s easy enough for everyday but pretty enough for company.

Best of all, you can eat it one-handed. Which is essential when you have a little ball of sweet baby in your arms.

Sorry. Couldn’t resist.
