There are always so many items on our to do lists, right?

Well this made it to the top of mine, and I’m glad it did.

I attended Big Traveling Potluck a few weeks ago and really couldn’t wait to bake with the beautiful California Strawberries I received. They were super sweet and delicious.

I just loved the Big Traveling Potluck it was right here in my town so I didn’t have to travel at all, lucky me! I  have read so many great write up of the weekend, but have so much trouble compiling that type of thing myself, so if you are interested in hearing more about the super fun weekend take a look here on Foodie Crush, Bake Your Day, Rustic Garden Bistro, Kevin and Amanda, Savour Fare, Reluctant Entertainer, Two Peas and Pod and you HAVE to click on Picky Palate’s post, you’ll get to see the cake I made. Thanks Jenny for posting it! I haven’t posted about the cake yet, but I hope to soon.

Yeah, some things are so important that they make it to the top of the list before all the boring stuff. Like housecleaning, laundry, and even shopping. Shopping seems to take all day. Once you leave the house it’s running here and there and remembering all the little stops along the way. By the time I know it, the day is practically over.

So getting up and baking this should definitely be at the TOP of the list, that way you can bring some with you to make all the shopping more enjoyable.

So try not to devour it all before you need to head out shopping, you will DEFINITELY want to bring some with you.

California Strawberries

  1. Mmmm this looks so good! I love the strawberry and banana flavor together. This would be so great for breakfast!

  2. So many gorgeous strawberries!!!

    And your cake was ah-maze-ing!!!! Hope to see you again soon, love.

    1. oops sorry. I made a mistake. I adjusted the recipe. No blueberries. I made a blueberry version and when I was altering this one, I forgot to adjust that item out of the list.

  3. Hi, I just found this recipe yesterday and it turned out great! I left out the chocolate chips and my husband and I just had it for breakfast. Yum! I was wondering how you store it? Does it need to be refrigerated right away? It’s so moist that I wasn’t sure. Thanks!

    1. I left it out on the counter covered loosely with wax paper so it doesn’t get soggy for one day then refrigerate it if there is any left.
