Oregon Strawberry Fields Forever



It is cause for celebration when the strawberries begin to ripen in Oregon, especially the overly flavorful and delicate Hood variety. If you have not tasted these yet, I recommend you hop on the trail to Oregon and check them out. These berries do not ship as well as some varieties so you won't see them in supermarkets across the country. These elusive beauties are worth the trip, not to mention June in Oregon is really magnificent! Lately, I have become obsessed with 'all things strawberries' and in doing some research for a strawberry wine recipe, I came across this really easy recipe for a strawberry facial mask. I have not yet tried it, but it sounds like a lovely indulgence for us Mama's on the go!

I am beyond excited...I have strawberries in my little patch! I ate 8 juicy ripe ones this past Saturday. Oh...divine! If I could swim a patch of strawberries, I would do it! : )
