Balsamic Strawberries With Basil Whipped Cream

Balsamic Strawberries with Basil Cream

When I first opened this month’s HEB Primo Picks package, my first instinct was to roast something.  I roasted cauliflower and later broccoli, but neither felt worthy of a blog post.  And then my mind shifted to desserts… Balsamic desserts.

Central Market Oil & Vinegar

While roasting all of those veggies, the thickness of the Central Market balsamic vinegar was noticeably different than what you can typically find in the grocery store.  It was slightly reduced, a closer resemblance to the balsamic I brought back from Italy last month.  This was my motivation for reducing it further.

Sliced Strawberries

How visions of roasted veggies turned into a balsamic reduction mixed with sliced strawberries and olive oil, topped with basil whipped cream, I’ll never know.  But what I can tell you is how much I loved this combo.

As part of the HEB Primo Picks team, I received compensation to sample various Primo Picks products. The opinions in this post are completely my own and based on my experience.

Polenta Pizza

December 3, 2013 by Kristin

What a Monday!  It’s week three at the new job and I couldn’t be happier.  I’ve been getting these bursts of adrenaline and excitement that I don’t remember feeling consistently since 2007 when I worked as a project engineer on this building.  Let me just tell ya, it’s exciting to be excited about {real} work again!

Sliced Polenta

And this excitement, rather than taking away from, is flowing directly into FoodFash.  I drove home with atypical energy for 6-ish o’clock and a huge grin {one of those ear to ear kind}.  I knew from the moment I walked in the front door that I was going to own the polenta pizza I had been dreaming about for days.

Grilled Polenta

I made my own sauce, acknowledging that I prefer my marinara over most.  And then I whipped out the new cast iron skillet that ordered through Gilt a few weeks back.  I stacked and baked and topped and ate.  I was satisfied, completely.
