{It’s strawberry picking season and I couldn’t be happier}
My favorite thing about the summer months is picking fruit: strawberries, blueberries, raspberries and blackberries, peaches…
It is the thought of summer days, picking fruit, that gets me through the winter months.
Each dreary winter day is one step closer to having a fresh, ripe berry in my hands.
With all these strawberries currently at our fingertips, I thought I would share a strawberry recipe.
How about two summer favorites combined into one muffin? It is sure to be a crowd pleaser.
