A taste of summer...





Mmmmmmm....Strawberries, one of the better things about summer. I had my turn at the strawberry patch last week and was able pick enough berries to make 4 batches of jam. This makes my family happy. We've been out of homemade jam for way too long and according to Stella, store bought jam is not her favorite. We've done a few other things with the strawberries too, like...ate a few bowls of them with a little ice cream, had a few mornings with them topped on our waffles, and maybe even had a cake or two. If you haven't made The Pioneer Woman's Strawberry Shortcake Cake, you must. It's good, if you're in to that sort of thing. I heart summer.
