Last weekend we went to a local organic strawberry patch (just up the road from our house in fact). Still a little early in the season, but the kids had an absolute blast searching for those little red berries (okay and so did mommy, I'm such a wannabe farmer). We came home with a box full of berries and the first thing I made was Strawberry Coconut Breakfast Cookies from Beth @ Tasty Yummies (see below). They were a total hit with the family! Thank you for a great recipe Beth.
This week I'll be sharing a few additional simple recipes with strawberries. See below for strawberry teff pancakes and sugar free strawberry cantaloupe popsicles.
Stayed tuned for: strawberry lemon shortcake and strawberry smoothies!!

Hi There Amber,
DeleteNice to meet you!Yes, we don't do any dairy in our house either. We've been making these pancakes for about 4 years. Love them! Easy to make and no allergens to worry about! Gotta love that! :-)
Love the binoculars for strawberry picking. Adorable! I'm excited about strawberries coming into season soon in Chicago too!
ReplyDeleteJenilyn,
DeleteEthan jumped out of his bedroom all ready to go with his yellow binoculars. We had a good laugh! Hope you get to enjoy some strawberries soon! :-)
Great pictures! I wish we had a strawberry farm down the road.
ReplyDeleteThanks Rebecca! It is such a fun treat to live close to farms. I really try to take advantage and visit the ones open to the public. And my kids LOVE it. Strawberries are super easy to grow if you can get your hands on some plants. :-)
DeleteWhat a lovely post Amber and the pictures are gorgeous! Fabulous recipes and I just LOVE the Strawberry Cantaloupe Popsicles!
ReplyDeleteAwe, thanks Vicky! It's funny...I don't love cantaloupe on its own, but I LOVE how it works with the strawberry. It provides just a touch of sweet and balances the tart. Really great combo! I'm addicted at the moment!! :-)
