I had an unexpected day off today due to torrential rain, and it was amaze-balls.
When I got home from driving to work only to find out it was cancelled, I got back into my pajamas, drank an extra cup of coffee and watched an episode of Gilmore Girls.
I was in the mood for coffee-cake so I tried a new recipe
I wanted to use up some strawberries-one of my pet peeves is throwing away fruits and vegetables that go bad. Lately we have been doing a great job of finishing them before they do!
The original recipe is here but I added some adaptations to make it healthier for us of course.

1 1/4 cups sugar
4 tsp. baking powder

2 tsp. vanilla
