It’s strawberry season!!! YAY!!! Y’all! If you find yourself with an abundance of strawberries, you MUST try this recipe!
If you can’t tell by my excitement, I LOVE strawberries! In my opinion they are one of nature’s sweetest and most delicious treats!
Yesterday was a weird weather day here in Southwest Michigan. The morning started sunny and by lunchtime there was rain…then the sun came back out in time for sunset! The rain spoiled my plans to soak up some sunshine, so I spent my afternoon in the kitchen!
I’m a sucker for strawberry pie, and the first pie was so delicious, that I decided to whip up a second, but this time with an oreo cookie crust! When I make the pie filling, I like to make extra to use as jam on homemade bread! Yum!
