Something Special

I give you my word that there has never been a strawberry pie better than the one my mama makes. It is definitely worth your time to try this recipe.

There is something special about being in a strawberry patch. Maybe you went as a kid and now you take your kids. Searching each row on a local farm for those ripe, red berries to fill your bucket and sneaking a few to eat is just a sign that the weather is warming up and life is good. Who are we kidding? We snuck more than just a few! There are so many delicious desserts you can create with strawberries, but strawberry pie will always be at the top of my list.

Strawberry Pie~The Best Fresh Dessert

Maybe you won’t forget that you are eating a pie, but the fresh strawberries will help you feel healthy at the same time. Strawberries actually have more vitamin C than oranges. Prevention reports, “Strawberries are rich in fiber as well as vitamin C, a nutrient pairing that’s great for reducing oxidative stress, which can reduce heart disease and cancer risk. Plus, strawberries are a good source of potassium, which has been shown to help protect against heart disease.” Studies suggest eating strawberries can reduce heart attacks, cholesterol, add folate to your diet, and even slow cognitive decline. Who knew these little berries were so amazing?

A fresh slice of strawberry pie…that’s the sign of warm weather and good days ahead. It’s a sign of time well spent together with your loved ones. Top your slice with Cool Whip and don’t waste any time digging in.
