National Strawberry Month
Did You Know May is National Strawberry Month?
May is my favorite month for special reasons. Mother’s Day and my son was born on Mother’s Day. My favorite fruit ripens each and every spring, reminding us that it is the time to dig out our favorite fresh strawberry recipes. Also it is time to find new ways of preparing this bright red, luscious and well loved fruit.
Strawberry season upon us and I am again enthusiastic to eat fresh and sweet strawberries in the raw, in desserts, in salads, and in lemonade. This year I am going to go further and try them in main courses dishes. I have never been adventures like this before, but I have found some really interesting main course strawberry recipes that look mouthwatering.
