Strawberry season is now. Thus, we’re celebrating with this strawberry sauce recipe. I especially love it because it’s made in under ten minutes. And it was made in my new healthy GreenPan non-stick cookware, which clean-ups quickly. For example, the sticky strawberry sauce slides right off with just a little hot water. GreenPan is quickly becoming some of my favorite cookware, let me tell you why.

The world is becoming more health-conscious, and we want to put the very best in and on our bodies. For instance, we’re growing our own herbs and vegetables, and shopping at farmers’ markets. Above all we recognize the value of good food, which is preventive medicine at its core.

Similarly, we care about what we put on our skin. Many of us have cleaned out and greened-up our beauty cabinets and make-up bags. We want less chemicals on our counter-tops and in our laundry machines. In other words it’s time to start doing our best wherever we can.

So, the vessels we cook our food in shouldn’t be treated any different. GreenPan is a company that prides itself on being the very first cookware company to bring ceramic non-stick cookware to the market. Therefore, they’re passionate about getting their affordable, healthy cookware options in your home. Their ceramic will never blister, peel or flake off into your food.

The best strawberry sauce recipe.

It’s lightly sweetened with honey (or maple syrup) and refined sugar-free. It’s made with three ingredients and balanced with sea salt and pink peppercorns for a sweet but not too-sweet experience. Subsequently, it’s an incredibly versatile strawberry sauce that works with pretty much everything. Like in cocktails, and on top of ice cream, yogurt, tarts, panna cotta, oats or spread on toast.

A refined sugar-free, strawberry sauce with sea salt and pink peppercorns. A strawberry sauce recipe that's lightly sweetened with honey or maple syrup.

Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 20 minutes

Ingredients

  • 4 cups strawberries, sliced
  • 1 cup filtered water

  • 2 tablespoons honey (or preferred sweetener)

Instructions

    That pot is gorgeous! I can’t wait to try this sauce on top of my overnight oats – all about adding a pinch of salt wherever possible.

    I love cooking with my GreenPan! It’s so light – I never feel like I’m putting too much pressure on my wrists when I pull the pan off the stove. This sauce sounds lovely! I love the addition of pink peppercorns.

    Thanks so much for introducing me to GreenPan! As you lay out, our cookware choices are super important, but rarely discussed, so thank you. I’ve been thinking about this sauce ever since seeing it on Instagram a few days ago. Love it in a cocktail idea!

    Beautiful photos and this recipe has me salivating! I cook in cast iron and a ceramic dutch oven but I’ve been dying to get my hands on some good stainless steel cookware but haven’t managed to come around to it yet. Can’t wait to make this sauce! And check out GreenPan! xo

    Such a stunning pink! Absolutely love the use of pink peppercorns for a bit of a difference. I had a doughnut recently with a jammy strawberry and bay leaf filling – the extra flavor was amazing!

    Counting down the days until I can get my hands on some local strawberries. This is one gorgeous sauce, Sherrie! I’m loving the sound of GreenPan, going to see if I can get my hands on some up here in Canada, x.

    I’ve discovered pink peppercorns are quite versatile, they can be used in a lot of recipes, I’m absolutely making this on Friday for someone really special, wish me luck.

Instagram post 2192583443496352046_3150324 LIKE GREEN BEAN CASSEROLE BUT way, way better. This sautéed green bean dish has a total green bean casserole vibe. But instead of cream of mushroom soup - I used lemony mushrooms and shallots. And instead of crispy onions I used @BlueDiamond Nut Thins for a #hackmas trick. The result is a flavorful and gluten-free side dish that comes together in under fifteen minutes. I served it for Thanksgiving and I’m gonna serve it again for Christmas. It’s one of my favorites. I hope you love it too (recipe below!). // In partnership with. #nutthins #ad

RECIPE:
12 oz. green beans
2 tablespoons olive oil 
1/2 cup shallots, minced
1 cup mushrooms, sliced
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 cup Nut Thins, crushed

Put the greens beans in a large sauté pan and cover them with water. Bring to a boil and cook for 2 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Heat the sauté pan pan over medium-high heat. Add in the shallots and sauté for 2 minutes.

Add in the mushrooms, salt and pepper and sauté for 5 minutes. Then add in the lemon juice and stir. Lastly add in the green beans and combine.

Plate with the crushed Nut Thins on top. Enjoy!

Instagram post 2183738430511447331_3150324 TRAVELING WITH A CHRONIC illness is challenging. But it’s also just a lot like living with a chronic illness. There’s no predicting how you will feel each day. Or if you will have access to the care you need.

My best tips? Travel if you can. Don’t stay home in fear. It’s better to go and be in bed than not go at all.

Pack your essentials. For me that means I always have my heating pad, @amazinggrass green tablets, @mowellens CBD and pain meds on hand.

Plan ahead. Make sure you know how you can get around easily. Don’t expect every city in the world to use ride-share apps (because they don’t). Know where the pharmacy and nearest hospital is.

Go with someone who understands your disease. Like a supportive partner or friend. Someone who is very patient. Someone who makes you feel safe.

But mostly - go easy on yourself. Drink lots of water. Take lots of naps. Don’t overbook your trip. Don’t overthink it. Eat the pasta and the tacos. Drink the wine and the margaritas. Relish the good moments. And rest with the bad. // #endo
