Strawberries

You always hear stories about women starting to crave foods that they never liked before while they're expecting... I did not think this would be the case for me; until this past week.  I have become OBSESSED with strawberries; and judging by the amount of squirmy kicks I'm getting, the little one is too.  I didn't dislike them 6 months ago, per say, but I definitely didn't love them enough to each them by the overflowing pint (on a daily basis).  Thankfully, with the warm weather coming the produce section at the market is now overflowing with them; a perfect springtime treat. A few of my favorite ways...


Plain! Rinse & Eat - you can't beat it!

Have a wonderful weekend & if you have anything strawberry please think of me - I'll be sending you a "cheers" with berry in hand.

p.s. I just realized I didn't include a strawberry smoothie in my list... also one of my top favorites, but after a quick look around the web I realize they don't seem to photograph that well. I'll leave you to picture it in your mind! xo
