Fresh Strawberry Muffins!


Went Strawberry Picking today at Dew Fresh in Cambridge and picked two big buckets full of berries!  Wasn't sure what to do with the berries, went more for the experience with the kids than the berries them self.  HOWEVER by the time we got home about 1/3 of the berries were gone.  Kids ate themselves sick in the car on the way home!  I made strawberry shortcake for dessert. . .and here are the Light and Fluffy Fresh Strawberry Muffins we'll be enjoying for breakfast!  These are just the right amount of sweet, super tender, and very light!  Enjoy!
