Good morning. Summer is my favorite food season. I not only love to grow my own fruits and veggies but I love to eat them as well. Really I love playing in the dirt, but actually reaping what you sow is pretty awesome! Do you garden?
Today I am getting strawberries from one of my neighbors. Mine aren't quite ripe yet and I surely won't have the quantity they have. Now to decide how to eat them. I think I'll cook some down to make a fresh fruit spread for breakfast bagels. Then eat some on on my salad greens, and of course dessert is a must. What is your favorite strawberry recipe?
And let us not forget to just have some strawberries with our coffee or afternoon tea :)
Today I am hopping along with the Coffee Lover's Blog Hop. This is my second year participating. So fun! I hope you get a chance to create something for the hop or just hop along for loads of inspiration.
I used these cute little to go coffee cups to send a note to a girl friend.
I love when I make a card and have a reason to drop it in the mail.
And I thought I would offer up a little prize for a random comment either here or on Instagram. Just answer one of the summer questions above in the comments.
Be sure to leave a way to contact you if you win.
My first prize is this stamp set from The Cat's Pajama's.
And for additional 25 comments I'll add another prize!
