Cooks Notes - There seems to be a bounty of beautiful strawberries right now. They are not only good for you but brighten up any drink or desert you use them in. I hope you enjoy this take on a Pina Colada and be sure to try my Strawberry Almond Pancakes which can be found on the cdkitchen website.
