RE: Fruits and Veggies Monday | Sunday’s Sweet Strawberry Scones!
Yummy! I bet if nothing else the smell of those baking is enough to get all the birds up and moving for the day! I was so excited to see strawberries at the market for just this reason--they are so delicious in just about everything. I made some spinach muffins with mint and strawberries yesterday to have with tofu scramble this week. Now I just can't wait for picking to start in another week or two to really load up on the ruby gems! Enjoy this time with all of the birds back in the nest!
Oh my spinach with mint and strawberries! What a great idea Katie, I'll have to try something using those ingredients, that would be awesome with breakfast. I think I told you I found a u-pick place about 30 minutes north of me....we're planning to check it out shortly. I am sooooo anxious to see what they have. Do you have a large freezer for all of the extra berries you pick? Thank you so much, it is so great to have my daughter here, I love cooking for her! :)
The mint turns out really subtle, but it's lovely with the strawberries added in! The greens just get blended up with banana and the other wet ingredients of the muffin batter, then you mix it in with your dry for some lovely green muffins! I've done lemon balm with blackberries for another delicious combination. Hooray for u-pick! Then you can really load up. I do have an extra chest freezer which comes in handy this time of year, and since I batch cook all my beans and freeze them. It's a little empty at the moment, so I'm ready to fill it back up soon. Hopefully I'll be able to bring my little niece picking this year for her first time!
