Chilled Strawberry Bisque - Real strawberries are blended with cream, milk, and a hint of sugar to make for a refreshing bisque that is perfect for starting or finishing any meal

Hellooooo February! Not only is this month all about love and Mardi Gras - it's also my birthday month! I have a special treat planned to celebrate next week, so get excited!

But before we get into birthday celebrations, we have Valentine's Day to get ready for. My first VDay recipe is inspired by a brunch treat I had many times growing up. We would enjoy Sunday brunch at my dad's hotel every once in a while. It was the most magical brunch, set in the huge atrium of the hotel, with jazz musicians playing and so much food that my eyes nearly exploded out of my head.

My favorite thing to have at the brunch (and, by far, the most memorable thing they served) was their strawberry bisque. I remember it so vividly: a huge basin of pale strawberry flavored soup that was served with whole strawberries and other fruits for dipping. My sister and I went crazy over it.

I have created a version of it here for you and your families to try. My kids have fallen in love with it, just as I did. And I hope yours will too!
