Minted Strawberries and Cream
"I came up with this last summer on a scorching hot day when I wanted something fruity but not too sweet. Dried mint and out of season strawberries are NOT a good idea here, so I suggest you save this recipe for when the strawberries are bursting with flavor in early summer:-)"

directions
- Place the halved strawberries in a large, chilled bowl, add sugar, mix and set aside.

I'm 26, married with two four legged children:-). My husband and I love to spend time playing scrabble, riding our bikes, messing around with our dogs and in general enjoying life.
We just joined our local Adult Kickball league so we're both excited about that! We do have to figure out ways to work off all the yummy food I make from 'Zaar after all:-)
