“Did you eat your soup yet? Dessert is ready, but you have to finish your soup before you can have desert”. That is what my mom used to say to us when we were kids back in Colombia. Well, she said it in Spanish 
Thank God I am not a kid anymore and I can eat my dessert any time that I want, even without eaten my soup 
This Strawberry Crisp is the easiest dessert that I have ever made and is especially good with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.
Buen provecho!

Sounds like exactly like my mom:-)
The strawberries at the market lately have been so sweet, juicy and ripe- just perfect for this dessert. Look wonderful!
Fruit crisps with ice cream too awesome to describe. Definitely one of my favorite desserts. Your strawberry crisp looks fabulous, as always.
My husband’s daughters always say..I rathe have deset than dinner. In this case they are right…I would go for a bowl. Also, I think we shop at the same store…don’t you just love those spoons.
Nice and simple. Just my speed ;D
Thanks.
With all the wonderful desserts like this one, i cannot think of the time that summer is over. Looks incredible.
Oh my! That does indeed look good. I’d eat more than soup for that!
This is my kind of dessert, especially with ice cream. I would definitely eat all my soup!
This sounds familiar to me as well
Excellent dessert! I just love it.
I never think about using strawberries in a crsip, Erica. That’s going to change here and now! Your dish looks fabulous!
This is a great dish, easy yet delicious. We’ll be trying these with next year’s crop of strawberries!
