    Anna @ Frugal For You here! Found you at Susie's. We went strawberry picking two weeks ago for the first time ever (besides picking from our little garden). It was the greatest thing besides picking blueberries. Thanks for the great strawberry recipes and the linky party list!

    I love strawberry and I so want to go strawberry-picking. But honestly I don't know where in my area....

    Btw - we don't have fresh ones by now (season is over), but we do have great frozen ones.

      Yes, strawberries are more of a cool weather Spring fruit. You are probably too warm, bummer.

    What a great round-up of strawberry recipes. Thanks for including my salad. I picked strawberries in my grandmother's garden as a child and thought it was fun. As an adult, I understand the term "stoop labor."

      I hear you Sam, I have lower back problems and picking anything get to me, but it sure was fun when I was a kid. Probably just easier because I was lower to the ground.

    I love all the strawberry picks and thanks for listing my shortcake! I can't believe you are using steakums! I remember those living in NY and can't find them anywhere in the midwest... you brought back memories for me. Darn, wish I could get them here... have a good day!!

      My husband thinks steakums are gross, but they really are just beef and they are one of the few childhood things I still eat about twice a year. My kids love them and ask when they can have them again. I usually make them when dad's not home.

    I really love your strawberry recipes here. Thanks for sharing us. :)
    I found the benefits of strawberry from Healthy Diet Foods Tips. I think it's good to know how healthy we get from this fruit.
