It's Strawberry Season!

Strawberry season is here! I just had the most fantastic strawberries -- so bright, sweet and juicy. They are one of my favorite fruits especially since they are so versatile. They are great alone as well as in salads, cereals and so many recipes.

An entire cup of strawberries is only about 50 calories. Plus they are a wonderful source of dietary fiber, vitamin C and potassium. Choose bright red strawberries since they do not continue to ripen once picked. To maintain freshness, wash right before eating.

I really envy people who know how to make preserves. I think I just may give it a try this year.
