Strawberry Day
Feb 27th is Strawberry Day. The strawberry plant made its way to North America in the 1700’s. I used to have 3 strawberry plants in my garden. However, hubby did not like the fact that they were so close to the ground and were often bothered by slugs. I love strawberries in jam, cereal, yogurt, on top of ice cream, or sugared down and eaten by themselves.
They are my third favorite fruit, after cherries and bananas, respectively. When we have fresh strawberries in the house I usually snack on one or two a day. I also make sure to give on to our pet ginny. I do not like any citrus fruit so strawberries are a great way for me to get some vitamin C. I have even tried to grow them indoors but have not had any luck.
Here are some recipes that use strawberries as an ingredient. Maybe you would like to make it someday!
