Strawberry Lemonade Bars

Sweet and tart strawberry lemonade bars with large chunks of strawberries!

Lemonade is a classic refreshment for hot summer days and adding fresh summer strawberries makes things even better! One day I was thinking about lemon bars while sipping on strawberry basil lemonade and I had to try combining the two to make strawberry lemonade bars! The recipe is pretty simple, taking a basic lemon bar recipe and adding large chunks of fresh strawberries! The lemon filling has a nice and creamy custard like texture and the strawberries go perfectly with it giving you that amazing hit of summer fresh strawberry lemonade!

Pan Seared Balsamic Strawberry Chicken and Brie

Pan seared chicken in a balsamic maple-dijon strawberry sauce with fresh summer strawberries and basil all cover in melted brie cheese!

Strawberries are one of the first bounties of summer produce and I enjoy devouring them fresh and in sweet treats by the truck load but they are also fun to use in savoury dishes like this tasty pan seared balsamic strawberry chicken and brie. This dish takes the amazing flavour combination of maple-dijon, in the form of a sauce, and adds strawberries! I am a huge fan of bacon (Check out some of my favourite bacon recipes!), so I start this dish off by cooking some bacon followed by pan searing the chicken until golden brown! Next up is the sauce which consists of onions, jalapenos for some heat, garlic, balsamic vinegar for tartness, maple syrup for sweetness, dijon mustard for bite, soy sauce for saltiness, and the fresh strawberries along with some summer-y fresh basil. Sliced brie is sprinkled on top and it's all broiled in the oven until the cheese has melted. The strawberry balsamic maple-dijon sauce is so amazingly good that you'll be licking your place clean and when you combine it with the bacon and melted brie your mouth will be in a new kind of flavour heaven!
