#BloggerClue Society: Strawberry Margaritas

It’s PARTY TIME!  The Blogger C.L.U.E. Society is all about the Berry this month.  That’s right folks luscious berries to get you in the mood for summer entertaining.

This month my assignment was Kathy from Bakeaway With Me.  I’ve been blogging comrades with Kathy for a few years now and first met her through French Fridays with Dorie.  Kathy has a way of making you drool with every delectable post.  She specializes in all kinds of baked goods, and I’m certain that I gain a few pounds every time I read her posts.  Kathy is the kind of kindred spirit you feel like you’ve known forever, though we’ve never actually met in person.  She also is a fellow Havanese lover.  (All dogs are great, but Havanese are particularly special – they are nicknamed the “Velcro-Dog” for a reason, and are quite good at manipulating their two-legged family).  Needless to say, there was an abundance of fabulous berry recipes to select from at Bakeaway With Me and I highly recommend visiting for inspiration.

Since Sous Chef and I have been traveling rather extensively this past month, and had just returned from a culinary extravaganza to Napa, our waistlines needed a little vacation from dessert.  Kathy has a great recipe for Frozen Raspberry Margaritas that I’ve been wanting to try since she posted it in February.  The only adaptation that I made was the switch from raspberries to strawberries and that was by necessity – apparently there was a run on raspberries in Indian Wells.  If you like fruity margaritas, you want to try recipe.  It is perfectly balanced and not too sweet!
