Oh no!!! Strawberries are in season

Ok! I'm addicted to Strawberries like some of you ladies are addicted to chocolate. I know that isn't a bad thing but I have eaten a lot of strawberries. I love them. I know they are good for me but I just don't think I should eat this much. I have eaten (I guess) about 3 cups of strawberries. (not all at the same time) since I Bought them around 5:00pm yesterday. I barely got the first ones down before I was sitting on the pooper!!! But, I didn't care. It was worth it. Maybe they will clean me out. I don't put sugar or anything on them....just the strawberries. MMMMMMMM. I love them. Rachel

A friend of mine's family has this big strawberry field that you can pick this bucket of them for about $5 or $6 a bucket. They are huge and soooooo good. I always had to stop my youngest son, he would just sit in the field a eat. They laughed at him. Maybe I should take you and my youngest son to the field and just let you sit and snack. Enjoy, they are good for you. Deb

Hey Deb! Is this field nearby? I have only lived here since January...and don't know where to go pickin'...when I am feeling up to it. But...if you read my response to Rachel...LOL...you will see I am looking for some good berries...LOL. Thanks, Stephanie

It's here is Summerville (Knightsville). I will call her to see if they are ready. Susan picked some fresh locally grown ones this week end also. 708-1816. Call me, I'll check on them.

Oh I LOVE strawberries too. Too bad I can't have them for 3 more weeks. Enjoy some for me.

You should be able to have them, the squish up soft. Just take tiny bites and chew and squish until there is nothing left to chew. That would be a yummy treat. If it were me, I would eat them after a week or two. They mush up to nothing.

Hi Rachel, you know what you could do? You could have some strawberries with each meal.. you could make a strawberry protein shake? Do you have a walmart near you? There is this protein powder that I buy that is called Body by fortress and they have vanilla and chocolate. I know you said you dont like protein shakes... but I make really tasty ones!! I make chocolate ones that are GOOOOOOD... When I come down there (i know, it will be a bit..... lol but i am coming!) I will make you up one and you will like it.... but this is my recipe.. i use a magic bullet.... and it is my saving grace.... but a blender will do the trick too. Also..... to get added protein, I use carb countdown skim milk.. (or the name just changed to... calorie countdown milk... it has a lot of protein in it also. ok..... 6 oz of calorie countdown skim milk 3 ice cubes... a scoop and a 1/2 of the protein powder (vanilla) 6 big juicy strawberries!!! 1 packet of equal or sweetnlow or splenda and then whip it up in the magic bullet now.... if i wanted chocolate (which is what i live for... lol) i would use the choc protein powder and i also add a heaping teaspoon of instant decaf coffee because i love the mocha flavor it gives. i love body by fortress... it just has the flavor i like.. and i like the ice cubes in it and if i start my day like this i feel good. i also like chocolate with strawberries..... lol i like chocolate with EVERYTHING pretty much though. hugs!!

Thanks for the suggestion. Weigh****chers has a good smoothie mix that you have to order online but it is wonderful. YUMMMM!!! I might try some of that protein. I have been looking for something in the morning that will fill me up until lunch. Protein shakes do the trick...or they used to!!! Rachel

Hey Rachel! I understand what you are saying about the strawberries...and I want to make you feel better...LOL. I am 23 weeks pregnant...and for some reason...this time I am craving strawberries and watermelon...to the point that...I PAID my 14 year old son to ride to the commissary (hubby has a broken leg and can't drive)...sent the child armed with a backpack...to get me a seedless watermelon. (learned really quick that the commissary is not the place to buy watermelons...but anyway...LOL) I have been waiting for the strawberries to come in season...and have been very upset with those I have purchased in the local stores. That is...until yesterday. I went to Sam's club. Can we say a little taste of heaven for under $3???? LOLOL. I bought a few containers...that are 2 pounds a piece. I will tell you...I am able to eat much more now that I am preggo...but am still getting fussed at for not gaining....even with eating something at least once an hour! Let's just say...that between yesterday and today...I have WAY "outeaten" you. If we were at a strawberry festival competing...I have put you under the table...and probably outside the festival gates...LOL. So...please...celebrate that you are eating something that is at least healthy...and the fact that there is someone out there...that has strawberryitis....LOL...even worse than you. I know that I am going to enjoy eating them while I can...cause I know how finiky Mabel (my pouch) can be...and last year this time...watermelon had me doubled over with two bites! Gonna have to go to the store now and get me some...LOL SEE WHAT YOU DID???? LOLOL Enjoy those berries! Stephanie

ah, no biggie!! They are good for you!! You can use the chocolate spray whip cream, no sugar, and gives it a chocolate dipped flavor!! I still use the spray whipped cream and strawberries for desert all the time. YUMMY!!! You are doing great!! You can also pour the splenda on them too, they are good for you!! Love ya, Deb
