Did I tell you that my family and I moved to a new home? It isn't brand new but it is new to us. We had lived at our old house for almost 7 years and we were bursting at the seams. We found an awesome house but not to far from our old home so not to much of change. We now have enough room for everyone plus room to grow. The yard is fantastic and has many nice trees and perennials.
One of the best parts of the yard is the huge strawberry patch. Strawberries are one of my most favorite fruits and I have loved going out and finding ripe, yummy strawberries.
My partner in picking is Audrey.
Soooo since I have all these berries, I gotta do something with them. I already made 3 batches of strawberry jam, we also made strawberry cheesecake, pancakes and I froze a couple bags. Friday I picked some more berries and I had some lemons also so I thought something strawberry, lemony would be delicious. I found the perfect recipe on Allrecipes.com
