Strawberries

Spinach and strawberry salad

Strawberry-banana smoothie

Strawberries are not in season here, and we are counting down the weeks...  Last year, we went to Andrews' Scenic Acres twice and picked and ate to our hearts' content.  We made jam, pie and crumble.  But for some reason, the strawberries have been crazy cheap these past few weeks.  So, we have been creative with them and enjoying them quite a lot.  Thought, in reality, they do not compare to the warm, sun-ripe ones here in Sunny Ontario, they'll do just fine.  We made salad and smoothies.  I'm a bit sneaky with smoothies lately.  I add flaxseed oil, wheat germ and almond butter.  The boys don't notice and it boosts the nutitional value quite a bit, plus the oil makes them taste smoother.  Yum.  We made some this morning.
