Where I live we don't just get strawberry season.  We get strawberry spring, summer, and fall.  Strawberries from May to November.  So many strawberries.  

I love strawberries, but I also run out of ideas for what to do with them (other than straight from the basket - ahem).  Here are 10 new ideas that I'm going to try this spring/summer/fall.

1. Strawberry Cheesecake Cups - strawberries stuffed with goodness!
2. Slice fresh berries over this Flourless Chocolate Cake from Real Simple. 
3. Strawberry strawberry cheesecake for a lucky dad!  Scroll down to the bottom of the post for the recipe.
4. Here is a vegan smoothie recipe that sounds delicious and filling - Strawberry Oatmeal Smoothie.
5. Last time I was at her house, my sister threw together a quick salad with spinach, gorgonzola and strawberries.  It was delicious!  Here is a similar salad from Whole Foods Market.
6. Here's a different salad with strawberries spin - this one with pecans and a sweet onion dressing.
7. Summer is not complete without fresh strawberry ice cream.
8. I love this post from the Tea and Cookies blog about failed strawberry jam. I also love making strawberry jam more than I love eating it, even when it comes out well.  I'm so glad I'm not alone! Here is Orangette's recipe for the jam she recommends.
9. I might try this as an alternative to strawberry jam this year - a conserve of berries in a barely set syrup. If that phrase makes your mouth water, rest assured you are a foodie.
10. These strawberry-mint  ice pops sound deliciously refreshing!
