My kids are eating me out of house and home right now since it’s summer. I feel like I live at H-E-B or in their curbside pickup parking areas. Is there anyone else who feels this way?

When I’m not at H-E-B, I’m probably at Sam’s doing the same thing. We go through so many gallons of milk a week now that the baby is drinking ordinary milk. It’s crazy! My eight-year-old can eat a whole casserole dish worth of cereal every morning and still be hungry!

When I go to Sam’s, I generally get one of those big boxes of strawberries. The strawberries are excellent and in season, and the price is just right. My kids will eat any kind of berries, but they usually only want to eat them fresh. But this tasty Fresh Strawberry Crisp is the one dessert that you can’t resist in the summer.

Yes, yes. It is hard not to get right into the bubbly pan as soon as it comes out of the oven! But letting it cool down a little and adding a scoop of vanilla ice cream is the best thing ever, really!

I want to thank my hubby for helping me make this Strawberry Crisp dish after we went berry picking with the kids in May. We brought home two big baskets of strawberries, blackberries, and two zucchinis after spending a scorching day in the fields. For dinner, I made zucchini lasagna, and he played about with the filling for the strawberry crisp.

The warm, delicious smell of strawberries filled the room when this came out of the oven. We absolutely stole some out of the pan when the kids were still outside playing. And maybe put some of it away for later. Do you also keep your kids from eating your favorite foods? If you do, let me show you a great place to hide: the Instant Pot!

It has really, really worked well so far! The only problem is where to place the items when I take the IP out to use it. I have to hide my Dove dark chocolates since my kids are always trying to take them. If you don’t already have an Instant Pot, this is another wonderful incentive to purchase one. You’re welcome.
