I adore fresh strawberries! I use them as often as I can, I guess. I slice them and
put them atop waffles & pancakes, in cereal, or just put a dollop of whipped cream on
them. I use them in cake filling, sliced and folded into whipped cream or pastry
cream. I make strawberry muffins, and strawberry crisp, and strawberry cobbler bars.
Hmmm..what else? Oh yes, they're good in salad, and I don't mean just fruit salad. A
green salad.

One of my favorite things to do with strawberries is the dice them, and use them as a
filling in wontons. You can add chocolate or fresh mint or a little orange zest, or
just toss them with a little sugar and go to town! lol Fry them up and dust with
confectioner's sugar while still hot.

One more thing...when I was pregnant, I couldn't stomach dairy, so my midwife told me
about almond milk. I used to make almond milk, then add strawberries and blend..it's
tasty and good for you. If you freeze them first, it will be like a milkshake.
