Ideas and recipes for National Strawberry Month

Ideas and recipes for National Strawberry Month

May is National Strawberry Month because of their abundance right this time of year. Since they're so abundant, their prices are lower this time of year, as well.

Add that to the health benefits of strawberries, which include an immune-boosting dose of vitamin C, ellagic acid which is good for collagen production, and blood-pressure regulating potassium.

A study conducted by the Harvard School of Public Health shows that women who eat 16 or more strawberries per week are 14 percent less likely to have elevated levels of C-reactive protein (CRP)—an indication of inflammation in the body.

It's National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day!

It's National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day!

Chocolate chip cookies are a favorite comfort food of nearly everyone. They're chewy, full of flavor, and chocolate-y...perfect in most people's book!

In celebration of Chocolate Chip Cookie Day on May 15,  here is a favorite recipe from KLTV's Mama Steph that we think you'll enjoy; just leave out the cherries if you prefer your cookies without fruit.

MamaSteph’s Cherry Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients:

2 cups + 2 tbsp plain flour

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 1/2 sticks of unsalted, melted butter (then cooled)

1 1/2 cups packed light brown sugar

1 large egg

1 large egg yolk

2 tsp real vanilla extract (you know how I feel about imitation vanilla! Don’t go there!)

1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
