It’s strawberry time in Delaware! Just not in my garden yet. My strawberries are still a couple of weeks away, but Fifer Orchards has high tunnels, so their strawberries are in, and they are delicious! Rhubarb is also in now as well, so…. And where did I get the recipe for this happy dessert? It is the…

Strawberries in Minted Honey Syrup
Today I was able to visit a farm stand for Magee Farms. But it was not just any farm stand, I had helped the Magees obtain the permission to start a u-pick operation on this historic farmland. So, I was especially pleased to be able to buy strawberries at “my” farm stand. So, of course,…
Baked Strawberry Pecan Oatmeal
The strawberries are finally ripening in my garden AND I am beating the bunnies and birds to them (for the most part). They are new plants this year, so my harvest is slow and steady, not the rush of berries I have had with more mature plants. So I am supplementing with berries from local…
Glazed Strawberry Bread
“Oh wow this is good!” was heard over and over as we each tried this bread. It was music to my ears. It was especially nice since I had made the bread simply because I had a lot of strawberries on my counter and had to find something to do with them. These were not strawberries from…

Strawberry Peanut Butter Pitas
I really enjoy having a farmers market just 4 blocks from my office at the University of Pennsylvania. The PA growing season is a little behind mine in Delaware, so I get to extend the seasons for my favorite fruits and veggies. I recently picked up some asparagus, bok choy, sugar snap peas and strawberries….
Macerated Strawberries
I didn’t think you could make strawberries taste any better than they do fresh out of the garden. But I was intrigued by the recipe for macerated strawberries in The Batali Brothers Cookbook by Benno and Leo Batali (Mario’s sons). It was so simple, I just had to try it. Again I used a mix of my…
Cammy’s Hide and Seek Muffins
Our “top chef” agreed to come back to the kitchen to make the Hide and Seek Muffins from Mollie Katzen’s Pretend Soup cookbook. My strawberry plants are still young, so they are producing sweet berries, just not that many. So, we used a mix of strawberries from our garden and other local strawberries. Cracking eggs may be…
Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp for Breakfast
It is always a good day when I get to stop at Filaskys Produce in Middletown, DE. At first I was nervous because they only had a sign up for asparagus; but then I saw them, the beautiful Filasky strawberries! After a conversation catching up with Cindy Filasky, I walked out with their strawberries, rhubarb…
Big Reds – Strawberry Muffins
While I was away from home for the strawberry harvest last year, my oldest, Arielle, was home, tending the garden. As usual, we had a bumper crop of strawberries. As one person with a lot of strawberries, she tried various uses for them. She dried them, she made strawberry bread, and she decided to make…
