Strawberries are definitely in season! I went to the grocery store yesterday and came home with a 2 pound box for less than $5! But, they go off so quickly! Even though we eat a lot of them in a week, going through 2 pounds is still too much for us. So, I use half of them to bake and leave the other half to eat fresh.
I love to make my strawberry muffins and my strawberry salad with the fresh berries. But today, I decided to make a crumble. It’s been a long week and I need something to help me get through it!
Trevor and I will eat this tonight with some ice cream on top after the kids go to bed. Amelia can try it if she wants, but she still prefers fresh berries to anything baked. And Matilda, well, she would eat it, but I’m waiting as long as I can before exposing her to sugar. Even if it is homemade!
