Castella with Strawberry Jam




So, I was finally digging through my freezer the other day and discovered the remains of a Castella - a Japanese sponge cake flavored with honey (recipe here) - that I made a few months back as an experiment to impress my soon-to-be in-laws. I was hungry for some breakfast, so I cut a couple slices of it, toasted it up on the stove and spread some strawberry jam. A great, spontaneous breakfast.

Sour Cream Biscuits with Strawberries


I love strawberry season. Stems from hot summers in Kansas and my family constantly trying to fight off the rabbits that love eating the strawberry crop. 



Much like hot dogs and the movie "the Sandlot," strawberries are a completely perfect representation of summer.
