We are right in the middle of strawberry season in New England and I am loving every minute of it! Strawberries are by far my favorite fruit, and fresh picked strawberries are even better!

If you are looking for something a little lighter after all that yummy Super Bowl food yesterday, I have the perfect recipe for you!
