We went strawberry picking again last week. I have never EVER had such sweet berries. They were the best. We ate them by the handfuls. I’m actually surprised any made it home with us because the kids were having a really hard time taking a  25 minute car ride home without gobbling them up.

Isn’t God the sweetest? My heart is full just knowing that he created all these beautiful things in life just for us to enjoy. I have to admit strawberries is really up there on the list of all the beautiful foods he made for us.

Also…debating on whether or not I should let you in on my little secret?

Hmm….. I guess I better. I forgot to put a lemon in the picture when I took these. Didn’t realize til everything was all packed up and the food….Well, the food no longer looked like this

So I had to choose to just the lemon idea go but I couldn’t I was annoyed. It’s a big part of this deliciousness. So I did a horrible job and pasting one into the top picture. It looks horrible and it took me forever to figure out. Anyone want to give me one on one lessons in copying and pasting objects into pictures and making them look good? I’m ready for you!

 

Til we meet and eat again,

    Ha ha! Actually, Melanie, I honestly would never have guessed that you edited that lemon in there! Very honest of you to let us into that little secret. 😉
    Really, though, these photos are absolutely beautiful! I would be very proud of myself indeed if I managed to make this. You’re right, strawberry shortcake is such a lovely classic and you really couldn’t go wrong serving it to any guests.

    This is my first time baking a shortcake ans once I added the wet ingredients to the dry ones, my batter did not become very thin or liquid-y like a normal caje batter. Instead it was a little lumpy and sticky. Did I do something wrong?

        Yes I did bake it and it was delicious! Just a little uneven since my batter wasnt smooth and it dudnt rise that much but nonetheless, DELICIOUS
