Roasted Strawberry Shortcake Shakes

Hey! Did everyone have a good weekend? Even though I was super busy I actually had a pretty nice little weekend. One of my favorite parts was brunching with the boyfriend at Gum Tree; a great Aussie inspired cafe in the South Bay. We sat outside because the weather was great, the food was great, and the people watched was great. I LOVE people watching. It’s such a great way to relax and sort of get lost in thought. Sometimes we’ll make up random and funny stories about the people passing by, just to entertain ourselves. Nerdy, yes. Entertaining, absolutely.

Anyway, Tuesday is Valentine’s Day and this is the perfect shake to make a loved one or even just for yourself as a decadent sweet treat. Not only is this milkshake awesome because it’s pretty and pink, but also because it has actual poundcake in it. Oh, and the roasted strawberries…totally awesome and delicious. Roasting them adds depth to this fun dessert. So regardless of what you do this Valentine’s Day, make sure to include this tasty  and super simple shake into a part of your day! Seriously. Enjoy, all! xx Jenny
