This month Kelly of Simply Inspired Meals is hosting the group as we shine the spotlight on strawberries. She wrote: "May is National Strawberry Month. Join us in creating recipes featuring strawberries as the star!" It was a timely invitation as I had just made a berry shortcake, by request, for my husband's birthday. Well, it was one of his requested treats. In any case, here's the  strawberry line-up from the #FoodieExtravaganza bloggers... Barbecued Strawberry Chicken From   Making Mira...

When I saw that the April Fantastical Food Fight focus was 'strawberry shortcake', I paused. The first thing that came to mind were these dolls from the 80s! I really disliked dolls; my grandmother tried and tried to get me fascinated with Barbie. But, when she bought me these dolls, I was moderately intrigued. I remember her being thrilled and she bought me every single doll in the series - Apple Dumplin, Rasberry Tart, Mint Tulip, Cherry Cuddler, and more. When I was a kid, I loved that the dolls' hair smelled. Now I wonder: What kind of awful chemicals made those dolls smell for so long!?! image from toysrus.com In any case, I started asking around. "What do you think of when I say 'strawberry shortcake?'" Friends and family all had differing answers. Some said the base was a sweetened biscuit; others were adamant that the base was a pound cake. Most intriguing to me was an angel food cake. But I decided to do more research and start recipe te...

I looked in the fridge and found leftover roasted rhubarb , leftover prosecco (gasp!), fresh strawberries from my High Ground Organics CSA, and plain yogurt. So, this is what I made. The boys were already asleep when it was finished, so I served it to them for breakfast. Hey...it's mostly healthy! Ingredients 3 1/2 C flour 1 T baking powder 1 t baking soda 1 T organic granulated sugar 1/2 C butter, chilled and cubed 1 t pure vanilla extract 1 egg 1 C milk + some for brushing on biscuits before baking 1 T white vinegar raw turbinado sugar 2 C strawberries, destemmed and halved 1 C roasted rhubarb 1/4 C organic granulated sugar 1/2 C prosecco organic plain whole milk yogurt Procedure Preheat the oven to 415 degrees F.
