Strawberries Galore

So since I had so much strawberries from picking them (see the next post for info and pics) I had to use them before it went bad. I love strawberries in every form and fashion so here are some ways that I used them. I made strawberry jam and it's so good stirred into yogurt, on top of pancakes and waffles and on toast. The possibilities are endless. My new favorite discovery courtesy of Martha Stewart is ricotta cheese and strawberry jam on toast. It's so tasty because the cheese is so mild. Justin loves eating the ricotta cheese with the jam on top. I think he thinks it's ice cream. He couldn't get enough. I highly recommend it for kids and everyone else.

You can't resist fresh strawberries with homemade whipped cream. It's a good thing I didn't have enough strawberries to finish the whipped cream or I would need to run another half-marathon. :-)

Here is a jar of the homemade organic strawberry jam. Since I made two jars and they don't last too long I thought it would be fun to give a jar away to one of my friends. So in honor of Justin's 2nd birthday next week please leave a comment stating his exact birthdate to "win" a jar. I'll personally deliver the jar and if you live out of the city I guess I'll have to give you something else. ;-) Good luck.
