Note: Most of these are invented, but some are taken from cookbooks. Some are family recipes that I wouldn't recommend trying to cook - for fear of suffering an odd-tasting death. ^.^

Strawberry Muffins

2 1/2 cups All-purpose flour
2/3 cup Sugar
1 teaspoon Baking soda
3/4 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1 1/2 cups Strawberries -- sliced
1 cup Buttermilk
1/3 cup Margarine -- melted
1 1/4 teaspoons Vanilla extract
1 Egg -- lightly beaten
1 Egg white -- lightly beaten
Vegetable cooking spray
1 1/2 tablespoons Sugar


Combine flour and next 4 ingredients in a large bowl, and stir well. Add fresh strawberries; stir well, and make a well in center of mixture. Combine buttermilk and next 4 ingredients; stir well. Add to dry ingredients, stirring just until moistened. Divide batter evenly among 18 muffin cups coated with cooking spray; sprinkle 1-1/2 tablespoons sugar evenly over muffins. Bake at 350 deg for 25 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Remove from pans immediately; let cool on a wire rack. Yield: 1-1/2 dozen (serving size:
1 muffin).

Strawberry Milkshake
Take as many strawberries as you want, depending on how strong the shake is. Cut off the leaves.
Crush the strawberries well/stick in blender, add as much milk as you feel necessary.
Add one tablespoon or less of white sugar.
Mix the lot together.

Strawberry Muchlings

Take a box of strawberries, hulled, place in a bowl.
Take a bare of chocolate (any kind. Hazel nut spread also works, though not as well).

Leave to dry.

Another way:
Simple take a bowl of melted chocolate/chocolate syrup. Dip strawberries in. Eat.
