We made it to the strawberry patch this weekend. Truth be told, Mitch did most of the picking (squatting with Baby Cupcake is, let’s just say, a major workout), but he did hand us the basket so we could pose with the strawberries!
The sweetest berry in the patch
That's a lot of berries!
Giving the strawberry an untraditional squeeze after picking (look at those fingers!)
Last year we did strawberry shortcake and all kinds of treats with the strawberries. So far we’ve done spinach, strawberry, and goat cheese salad, strawberry smoothies, and strawberries on cheesecake!
It looks like she’s ready to take a bite out of that strawberry! So cute. Maybe this year is the year to make strawberry cupcakes!
You’re right! Mitch smashed a strawberry up a bit for her and then she ate one right there at the farm! Strawberry Cupcakes sound like a great idea (I don’t know if you recall, but I once mailed those to Mitch in Swaziland…not such a good idea) so I think I’ll put that on the menu.
Wait until she is 4 and she will be eating more than picking! I was afraid we were going to get kicked out of the farm! HA I can’t wait to see some of your strawberry recipes!
That is too funny! I don’t blame her at all. Love it. So far we’ve been just eating them straight too…they’re just so good that way!
