Strawberry Cupcakes

I was just out watering my garden, and my newly planted strawberry plants. I just love strawberries. Sadly, my daughter thinks they are gross. Ah well...at least my son loves them as much as I do! Unfortunately when we have strawberries for dessert, we have to have another dessert to go along with it, so my daughter doesn't feel left out. Luckily, I made the Buy Me Some Peanut and Cracker Jack® cupcakes earlier this week...
