Black Forest Cherry Muffins make a fantastic breakfast and they are also satisfying enough for a dessert. No frosting necessary.

The early summer is here and cherries are ready for the picking. If you are lucky enough to be near some cherry orchards then make it an outing.

Picking your own fruit is so much fun. If you can't make it then the farmer's market will have some and there is always the grocery store.

Since cherries are in season right now the price will be better too.

We went picking and got way to many to use right now so you know me. I froze a bunch. This recipe is wonderful using defrosted cherries too so make sure you get plenty.

Also, my husband has run out of sweet snacks and all the cherries gives me a chance to make these muffins again.

There are little bits of chocolate spread throughout too and the texture is moist. Combined with the cherries Black Forest Cherry Muffins have become one of our favorites.

It sounds like my husband is a fatty. Nope. I just make him sound that way. He doesn't pig out and he's a very healthy eater. A grazer of small healthy food but he does enjoy his sweets on occasion.

I don't know if you can tell but there was one missing when I took the photos below.

Seasonal cooking is the best way to cook. It is not only more flavorful but buying seasonally is less expensive.

June is the beginning of summer and fruits and vegetables are starting to come with a wide variety of choices.

Cherries are at the front of the pack and one of my favorite fruits of all time. Shopping at local farmer's markets is my favorite way to shop too.

You can get out in the fresh air and schmooze with your neighbors while having fun shopping.

The farmers and sellers will be able to answer any questions you have about their produce. What a great way to shop. Most often the fruits and vegetables are also organic.

You know when you're trying to plan your meals for the week or just plain trying to figure out what to make for tonight? Well, shopping seasonally also helps you be organized.

It reigns in your brain so that your options are fewer and planning goes much more quickly.

I made a list of most of the options that are available this month. Some are at the end of their growing season and some are at the beginning.

Either way, you can see the choices are abundant.

Why don't you get cherries while you can and make these Black Forest Cherry Muffins first?
