Strawberry + Blue Cheese Bites 

Share:

Apps, Snacks

Need an appetizer for Memorial Day that is no bake, no fuss, and you can put together in 5 minutes? THIS IS IT. Years ago, my best friend’s Mama (my second mom basically), Barb, made these for us before dinner and I’ve thought about them ever since. So today for the first time in probably 10-15 years (can’t remember the exact date lol) I made them! So easy and SO delicious. You have to make them!

INGREDIENTS:
Strawberries
Blue cheese of your choice (I prefer a creamy, tangy blue like Roquefort)
Balsamic Reduction
Chopped walnuts
Sliced Basil
Flaky Salt
Black pepper

DIRECTIONS:
Leaving the stems on the strawberries, slice in half lengthwise and set on a serving platter. Crumble blue cheese with a fork, being careful not to make the crumbles too small. Place blue cheese crumbles on each strawberry half, then drizzle with balsamic reduction. Sprinkle walnuts and basil on top, followed by flaky salt and pepper. THAT IS IT!

Enjoy!

I’ve loved watching everything grow this season. Checking on it every day, getting way too excited when something new pops up and slowly learning what the heck I’m doing along the way 😂 There is truly nothing better than cooking with something you just picked five minutes ago.

A little garden tour, today’s harvest + a very cute @llbean fit for the occasion. #llbeanpartner

“The Pour Room” before + after ✨ What a transform “The Pour Room” before + after ✨

What a transformation!!! Our little room dedicated to all things coffee, tea, wine + cocktails. 🥂☕️ It was beautiful before, but we wanted it to feel more like us and work better for how we actually use the space every day.

We added tons of storage, a custom island that gives us extra space for making drinks and doubles as a serving table when we entertain, and basically obsessed over every tiny detail we possibly could. 😂

Saving all the details here because I already know y’all are going to ask 🤭

✨ THE POUR ROOM DETAILS:

Design: @samanthasteininteriors
Paint color: Farrow & Ball De Nimes
Walls + ceiling: Nickel gap
Built-ins: Custom built-ins for coffee, wine + cocktail storage, plus all of our glassware @ignaciotrimco 
Island: Custom-built island that extends for making drinks and doubles as a serving table when we entertain
Picture lights: @rejuvenation Roman Picture Light — Antique Brass, 16.5”

Basically every tiny detail I could possibly obsess over… we did. 😂🥂 And The Pour Room is officially my favorite room in the house.
