On snow days, I get fat.

Leave it to a snow day to make your belly rumble for some homemade sweet treats. I think it's the coziness of being stuck in the house that makes you yearn for something warm, sweet, and fatty.  Or maybe it's the fact that you don't want to go outside and shovel.  For me, it's the latter, but that's besides the point.

Smitten Kitchen, (what?? You haven't heard of Smitten Kitchen??! Stop reading and go there now.  Then come back.) one of my favorite foodie blogs around, posted a fabulous recipe using pretty much some strawberries and some flour. It's called...Strawberries and Dumplings.  (With me, all you have to do is say the word BERRY and I've suddenly become a good listener.  Or Nutella.  But, there's none of that in this recipe.)

Anyberry, the recipe tastes divine. I would know.  Because I made it. It's quick, easy, and delish!  And because you are consuming loads of berries, you forget about the dough and the fact that you have to unbutton your pants pronto. (But personally, on a snow day, only elastic waistbands should be permitted.)

Here's the recipe.

Here's the picture from Smitten Kitchen's site:

It looks fabulous, no?

And here's my picture: 

(brace yourself)

Haha! It's a FAIL picture!

But that's because I was just too hungry to take the time for a real photo shoot. That and the LG was hopping around the kitchen like a bunny in heat, so excited for some dessert, that I had to load up and serve immediately.  

Regardless, it was still super yummy and I'll be making it on my next snow day...and you probably should too.

Happy Happy Friday!
