Get Sweet on Strawberry Rhubarb Crumble With Cardamom Cream

Hot-pink stalks of rhubarb and rosy-shouldered strawberries practically beg to be simmered together; add perfume-like cardamom to the mix, and it's hardly surprising that this crumble is a keeper.

Hot-pink stalks of rhubarb and rosy-shouldered strawberries practically beg to be simmered together; add perfume-like cardamom to the mix, and it's hardly surprising that this crumble is a keeper. Even better, it's a low-effort proposition, perfect for casual entertaining or baking up as a spontaneous treat for oneself.

Particularly when working with cardamom, make certain to grind the spice fresh, as it rapidly loses its fragrance once pulverized to a powder. Other than that, this recipe is simple, satisfying, and more than worth the minimal effort expended — try it yourself tonight.

Here, Happiest Hour hosts Matthew Rodrigues and Brandi Milloy show how the strawberry balsamic crush cocktail comes together.

Julia Child's Crepe Recipe

Sweeten Your Day With Julia Child's Crêpes Fines Sucrées

Any American can finagle a batch of pancakes in the morning, but crepes, the French equivalent of pancakes, are regarded highly because making them requires good technique and a lot of practice.

Any American can finagle a batch of pancakes in the morning, but crepes, the French equivalent of pancakes, are regarded highly because making them requires good technique and a lot of practice. However, don't be discouraged. You too can produce paper-thin, lacy, semicrisp crepes, and Julia Child's recipe for dessert crepes is a great way to become acclimated to crepe-making.

Julia Child's batter for dessert crepes is shockingly easy — just measure out the ingredients and whirl them around in a blender. The tricky part is the actual cooking. Luckily there is a video of Julia cooking crepes for the faint of heart. Notice the crepes should be spotted brown with a smooth consistency.

If your pan is too hot, the crepes will bubble as they cook and become craterlike, as pictured on the left. They are still edible (and delicious!), but lower the heat slightly so the rest of the crepes will be smooth, as pictured on the right.

Crêpes suzette is one of Julia's most notable preparations of dessert crepes, but the sauce is pretty heavy and the dessert crepes themselves are already saturated in butter. For a lighter, fresher topping to complement the buttery crepes, try marinating strawberries (or another fruit) in orange liqueur and granulated sugar. The orange liqueur adds an indescribable depth and richness to the berries without weighing down their fruity, ripe flavor. It's about time you swallow any trepidation, pull out that nonstick pan, and start making Julia's crepes now.

How to Use Strawberries For Weight Loss

3 Ways Strawberries Can Help You Lose Weight

Summer strawberries have endless options for being prepared and served.
by

Summer strawberries have endless options for being prepared and served. As an added bonus, enjoying this superfood's juicy texture and natural sweetness instead of some higher-calorie fruit options can also help you lose weight without feeling deprived.

Breakfast: Swap the artificial for the real deal.
Swap the fake for fresh! It's easy to grab a flavored yogurt and head out the door in the morning, but while most yogurts are low in calorie, they are often loaded with sugar. One serving of strawberry Greek yogurt contains 19 grams of sugar, but the same serving of plain Greek yogurt and one half-cup of mashed strawberries will cut back on 7 grams of sugar. Every little bit helps!

Lunch: Replace the dried with the juicy.
Salads are often a lunchtime choice because they offer variety, nutrition, and flavor. In some cases, salads toppings alone can hinder your diet and set you back big time. Dried cranberries, a common salad topping, contain 138 calories per one-third-cup serving. Cut calories and increase the portion size by replacing the cranberries with strawberries at only 53 calories per cup.

Dessert: Satisfy your sweet tooth for less.
There is nothing like a cold, refreshing treat on a hot Summer day. Unfortunately, these treats usually don't feel as good on your waistline. One scoop of Baskin-Robbins strawberry shortcake ice cream contains 280 calories. For an equally refreshing treat, try these watermelon strawberry mint popsicles. At only 31 calories a pop, they are all natural and will save you about 250 calories.

Preserve Summer's Most Coveted Fruit With Strawberry Jam

Strawberry jam is one of those must-make recipes that every home cook should know.
by

Strawberry jam is one of those must-make recipes that every home cook should know. What better way to preserve Summer's most coveted berry than by making a jam? Perhaps a classic pairing suits your fancy. Spread the jam over toast, pour it over brie cheese, or make a mean PB and J. Fruit jams also taste great in a turkey sandwich or in grilled cheese sandwiches. Alternatively, try it in a jam cocktail or whip a few tablespoons in cream cheese or a batch of fresh buttercream frosting. Maybe you enjoy it solo, sneaking a secretive spoonful each time you pass the fridge. I won't tell! Either way, take a look at my favorite strawberry jam recipe.
