Strawberry Streusel Muffins

Strawberry muffinThis is a muffin recipe I discovered last spring, and I couldn’t wait to make it again. You know me, I love my muffins! I was waiting for the delicious spring strawberries to come back in season, and then I realized yesterday that 1. I had sour cream that needed to be used up in the fridge and 2. I had frozen strawberries in the freezer and so lunch was decided on. In this recipe I do prefer fresh strawberries, but the frozen ones worked just fine too, if that’s what you have on hand.

Belgian Waffles with Berry Cream

WafflesI am not a breakfast eater. For one thing I am just not hungry first thing in the morning, secondly I am usually tired and really don’t feel like cooking up something delicious. So I just pour myself a large glass of chocolate milk and sip away while I check Facebook, write my morning blog post. Then sometimes I am craving breakfast food, so I have to make it for dinner. My breakfast eating family doesn’t mind though as I don’t usually cook them breakfast either, I will just make them toast, cereal or a bowl of porridge. Waffles are a rarity in the morning, but a welcome treat at night.
