Strawberry Tart
There is nothing like the flavor of a fresh, vine-ripened strawberry, and this tart is my absolute favorite way to show them off.

Buy a flat of berries and make this immediately!

Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp
Every single year when rhubarb comes into season, I celebrate by making this crisp, and honestly it never gets old. The strawberries and rhubarb bake together until they are bubbling and jammy, and that golden brown oat topping with cinnamon and brown sugar is just *chef's kiss*. Serve it warm with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream and you are living your best life.
