On Saturday the weather was warm and I had the whole day to do what I wanted.  After breakfast with my son, he went home to mow the lawn and I ran to the nursery to pick up a few tomato, pepper, and zucchini plants.  I spent a few hours out in the garden and then later met Liz at the beehives to check to see how the ladies were doing.  Liz lost a queen in one of her hives, I guess the girl flew off so she had to combine two hives, which was another learning experience for me.  I always learn something new when we open those hives.  I popped back in the garden to pull a few weeds and I checked on my strawberries which have filled in quite nicely and it looks like I will be getting a good harvest this year if Mother Nature continues to co-operate.

As you probably know Strawberries grown here in the States start their peak season April through June and come from California or Florida.  That being said I would **highly** recommend buying locally because nothing beats fresh, local berries.  Growing Strawberries is a pretty effortless and very rewarding ordeal.  They are easy to grow, return year after year and can be grown in pots.  Check out my post Grow Your Own Strawberries if you are interested in growing your own.

With Strawberries on the brain, it rained here yesterday so I made some bread with the basket of Strawberries I had on hand.  I used Almond Meal in the recipe to cut down on flour and add the health benefit of the Almonds.  I also added lemon zest to brighten the flavor of the Strawberries, but also to add the health benefits that lemon can offer us, lemon lowers blood pressure and increases the levels of HDL (good cholesterol).  The Bread turned out perfect, moist and fruity on the inside and crispy on the outside.  I  made two loaves and froze the second to pull out later.

Strawberries are an excellent source of vitamin C.  Vitamin C is one of the antioxidants that can help with cancer prevention, since a healthy immune system is the body’s best defense.  The combination of antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agents found in strawberries is well-known to fight against the onset of many different forms of cancer.

When shopping for strawberries you should NOT only shop with your eyes but also your shop with your nose. Strawberries should have a sweet, delicious “strawberry smell”.  Choose brightly colored, dry, firm, shiny, plump berries that still have fresh-looking green caps attached. Avoid soft, dull looking, or shriveled berries. Since strawberries do not ripen after being picked, avoid berries that are partly white or otherwise unripe.

    No. 2 of the directions mention baking soda and “almond meal baking powder”, but the ingredients list is different. Clarify please
