This strawberry recipe is a good idea for a healthy snack and I do love rolled oats. I know they are healthy and it only increases my attraction to recipes prepared with them.
And strawberries… well, it’s difficult to find a way I don’t like them. This strawberry recipe is kind of a crumble… but lighter.
It is still cold here in Italy. Not so much as in many other countries, but we’re at home with the heater on. Writing about strawberries make me think about the near Springs. The days are already longer and at the end of March the time changes and we begin to really feel the Springtime.
