Happy Friday!🎉Did you know today is National Pick Strawberries Day? Strawberry season is in full swing here in the Carolinas and it is a perfect time to go pick some strawberries before the full heat of summer comes. There’s a small farm just about 5 miles from me where you can go pick a bucket of strawberries, and it’s one of my kids favorite things to do. I’m not an adventurous baker or anything, so I haven’t tried to make a pie or strawberry jam yet...maybe this year. Have you ever picked your own strawberries? Have an awesome strawberry recipe? Let me know below! 👇I’m always thinking about food...so back to Community!
