Strawberry Muffins

     As you know, we love muffins here at our house. I make them all the time, and have posted a few of the recipes on this blog.
(Blueberry Muffins Blueberry Muffins 2 Monkey Muffins , Apple Pie Muffins,  and Corn Muffins)
     They are a great snack, side, or dessert...and a great easy breakfast if you make them the night before. I'll be the first to admit: The less stuff I have to do in the morning, the better. Mom, you are not allowed to comment on this. 

     I know it's past time for strawberries, but I love them. They are probably my favorite fruit, so anything made with them is my kind of thing. I got this recipe from allrecipes .com and made a few adjustments based on the comments made by people who made the recipe. I used frozen strawberries this time, but when it's strawberry season, they are amazing with fresh strawberries, too!
