Yes, you read that right.
| | | | Yes, I am successfully growing a strawberry plant inside my apartment. What originally started as a quick trip to Trader Joe's to grab some peanut butter ended with me spending $9.99 on an organic strawberry plant … and also buying peanut butter.
As someone who loves windowsill gardening, I always enjoy finding new things to grow in my small space. But I had my doubts about this plant—not enough doubts to keep me from buying the plant, mind you. So I told myself that if it died or never produced berries, it would be no big deal.
I am not even kidding when I say that I had strawberry buds the next day! Now I have more mini berries than I know what to do with, and I'm trying to figure out how to use them in recipes.
The easiest way to use my strawberries would be in a cocktail, like some sparkling strawberry rosé. All I would need to do is wash them! But I would love to try something more elaborate, like a strawberry cheesecake. Honestly, I'd probably have to supplement with some farmer's market berries, but that's okay by me. If I want to get really decadent, I could try this strawberry shortcake french toast casserole, which is my new favorite combination of words. Maybe I could share my harvest with friends and make these easy strawberry cupcakes for our next picnic or outdoor party, or perhaps this fresh strawberry cake?
There are so many great options for my berry harvest, from cocktails and breakfasts to desserts and snacks. If I felt like really testing my kitchen skills, I could dehydrate them or preserve them to enjoy all year long. One thing is for sure: I definitely did not expect an impulse strawberry plant purchase to provide me with so many options for tasty treats!
