The brisk air of the early summer morn kisses against your skin and bathes your warm body with careful cool breezes.
Alive, at peace from the heavy heat that'll loom above us later in the noon.
I cannot deny, though, that the comforting warmth of the early hour makes me appreciate the weather.
There is a certain charm to it, the cold breeze mixed with the to be warm weather. Not too hot, not too cold. Simply stuck in something more tolerable, temperate.
Magics of the world. Mother nature works in her own strange ways, giving us the loving embrace of the morning dew in summer and clearing our bodies with the freshness it bears.
The sun taunts during the day. Testing the waters and licking against our skin.
But not here in the early morning as it rises to greet us. It smiles, showing us the art it can create in the sky with its light and grace.
Showing us colors we will never get tired of.
Early summer mornings are to be enjoyed and appreciated for the calm and beauty they bring.
For the laughs with friends, for the comfort of solitude.

Low-Fat Whole Wheat Strawberry Shortcake Muffins!
I'm allergic to nuts, so not a lot of my recipes will contain them, but this is the variant of the original strawberry shortcake recipe. The variant wad made for my parents taking account of my dad's health concerns/needs.
alt text under cut
Ingredients:
2 cups whole wheat flower
2 Teaspoons baking powder
1 egg
1/8 cup maple syrup
8 oz fat free cream cheese
1/2 cup butter, melted
2 quarts strawberries
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
~ 2 cups milk
optional 4 servings protein powder (calcium-based for flavour)
Materials:
2 regular-sized 12-cup muffin pans
2 mini muffin 12-cup muffin pans
Hand beater
Pairing Knife
Large Bowl
Pan Greasing agent
Directions:
In a large bowl mix everything except for your creme cheese, milk, and strawberries. One done, you should have a doughy consistency, add one cup of milk and mix slowly.
Wash your strawberries and cut them in half. Select 12 halved strawberries of a good size (equalling 24 pieces) and cut open the centres, removing them from the strawberries and placing them in the mix, before putting creme cheese in them, set them down in the mini muffin pans. Once this is complete, dice the rest of the strawberries and add them and the creme cheese to your mixture
Add milk until the muffins match the consistency of thick cake batter. This done, half-fill all of your greased muffin cups, then place a stuffed strawberry in the centre of each, before putting them in the oven for 20 minutes, or until you can slide a toothpick into the non-strawberry part without getting anything sticky on them.
Remove them from the oven and let them cool for ten minutes. Warning: they tend to be soft due to the cooked strawberry in the centre, so handle with care!
Best served with whipped creme or ice cream!
