Blog-A-Log - Saturday, June 28th

As readers of this site and my personal food blog will know, I’m not much of a fan of recipe posts; to me they scream to the world that the blogger has run of of things to say, and has resorted to blogging about what they had for dinner. The one huge exception to this is posts about seasonal food items - I actually really love coming across recipe posts about local produce in season, because I enjoy seeing what each person has chosen to do with a particular ingredient. For the past couple of weeks, we’ve included a lot of asparagus posts here in the Blog-A-Log column, and as the asparagus winds down (which reminds me, I should blanche some and freeze it before it’s all gone!!), we move on to strawberries, which are all over the web this week.
Starting over at Closet Cooking, Kevin’s got a gorgeous strawberry and feta salad, as well as strawberry frozen yogurt. Eric at Do You Know the Muffin Man? has strawberry rhubarb muffins, and Ferdzy at Seasonal Ontario Food has strawberry agua fresca. Ferdzy’s also got a brilliantly green seasonal soup made from spinach, asparagus and peas.
Elsewhere, Dana McCauley’s got an interesting post about real breakfasts, while Liz at Blog From Our Kitchen has cinnamon raisin bread (perfect for breakfast!), and Jasmine at Confessions of a Cardamom Addict has a recipe for spiced blueberry maple syrup (also perfect for breakfast!).
And anyone still looking for recipes should head over to Gothic Epicures VinCuisine, where Dean has a whole pile of recent cookbook reviews.

Thanks for the shout out Sheryl! Tomorrow I will have a special Sunday post. I can’t tell you exactly what I have on the menu but it is also good for breakfast!
Happy Canada Day!
