U-Pick Strawberries

I've been a little obsessed with strawberries lately. I've been buying them from the store, eating them with breakfast, snacking on them and thinking of amazing treats to make with strawberries. Not since I was a little kid have I felt such a strong desire to eat strawberries all the time. Yesterday, I went to Sauvie Island with my sister and a friend to pick our own strawberries. My sister and I used to do this with our grandparents in California, but it's been years since I picked my own strawberries. We went to Kruger's Farm and each filled up 3 pints of strawberries to take home. We've had slightly out of season cloudy weather in Portland, so our strawberries are a little small, but still tasty, and very cute.
Today, I made some Strawberry Basil Pesto. My boyfriend has been asking me to make this for a couple of years now, but his requests always came when strawberries were out of season. I roughly followed a recipe from Chocolate and Zucchini. I have a tendency to just wing it when making pesto, and I ended up using the ingredients from the recipe, but added them to the blender by taste. I've put a bit in our fridge to eat this week and have frozen the rest to enjoy later.
With the remaining strawberries I plan on making cupcakes for a friends birthday this weekend and I will freeze what ever is left over.
