     Strawberries.  I have to tell you I love photographing them.  The color is so beautiful it’s they are often a delightful subject.  Thankfully, my children share this fascination with me if not in photography the idea of including them in preparations.  Making use of them hence is a breeze..

  The last time we bought strawberries and made the preparado I had a few remaining.  Having talked about liking the looks sometimes you will agree the fruit can be too sour to eat with out a dip or ice cream.  I decided we needed more variety so made some muffins.   

Ingredients:

Strawberry-Bite sized pieces- 1 1/4cup
Butter- 1/2 cup

Baking soda- 1/4 tsp
Cinnamon- 1 tsp

Method:

1.Hull and cut the strawberries into bite sized pieces and keep them foe 10-15 minutes to dry up a bit, so that it won't get too mushy when mixed with the flour.
2.Preheat the oven to 375 degree F.
3.Line or grease the muffin pans. This measurement will give you ~18 standard size muffins.
4.Whisk together the flour,Cinnamon, Baking powder,Baking soda and salt.
