Strawberry Goodness
Earlier this week, I was lucky enough to find strawberries at my local Aldi Grocery Store for .49 per box. Yep, you read it right! 49 cents! There was a limit of 8, and of course, I bought 8.
I came up with some ideas on how to use them, so I thought I would share them with you. I live in NW Indiana and our strawberry patches have not opened yet, when they do, I plan on picking, and I will be ready with my recipes.
One of our family favorites, the Strawberry Pie.
You can use the same recipe and make Mini Strawberry Pies.
We had Strawberry Banana Smoothies this morning with our breakfast.
Combine in a blender, strawberries, bananas, 1 container of yogurt (strawberry flavor) and a splash of apple juice. Blend until smooth.
I could make these cupcakes again.
Breast Cancer Awareness Cupcakes
One of my favorites, and surprisingly easy to make.
Chocolate Covered Strawberries
Now, since you can’t eat dessert for a meal, although if I had my way, we would. Here are some other ideas.

I am making a strawberry cream cake for a friend’s 50th birthday on Sunday, not buying the strawberries until tomorrow so that they are still nice and firm.

Wonderful! Chocolate covered strawberries! Yum. Everything here looks wonderful. I am wishing I had strawberries on hand this very moment.
I have a friend who made a bunch of strawberry jam this past weekend because they got a great deal for them at the local grocery. Apparently they had a damaged load and he got a stinking good deal. With a little work
(making jam/jelly is a lot of work) their family now has some delicious SWEET additions to their pantry.
Thanks for sharing.

These are a lot of really nice ideas for how to use strawberries. I have never had chocolate covered strawberries so I am going to try and make them. I also like the idea of making strawberry poke cupcakes. They look really good.
