Celebrate strawberry season with these 17 easy and delicious recipes! From sweet to savory, there's something for everyone.
Are strawberries ripe where you live? It's almost strawberry season in our little part of the world and we're ready!
There's nothing like a big bucket of farm-fresh, ripe strawberries. And while we could eat them straight from the bucket, we love using them in all kinds of recipes too. We love making freezer jams, fresh strawberry cakes, salads and more. This post has tons of inspiration on how to use those beautiful berries. Use the recipes now, or save them for later when your berries are ripe.

Thought for the day:
This is what the Lord says-
    he who made a way through the sea,
    a path through the mighty waters,
who drew out the chariots and horses,
    the army and reinforcements together,
and they lay there, never to rise again,
    extinguished, snuffed out like a wick:
"Forget the former things;
    do not dwell on the past.
 See, I am doing a new thing!
    Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?
I am making a way in the wilderness
    and streams in the wasteland.
Isaiah 43:16-19
