The other day, Kaleb said "WE LIVE IN A STRAWBERRY FACTORY MOM!"
And he is right. We have been consuming them in extra large amounts for the last few days. But here is the best thing we have made with them:

My kids got involved and we turned out a pretty yummy dessert

Here is the recipe (I got it here):
Buttermilk Shortcakes
2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
1 tbsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/3 cup butter, chilled and cut into pieces
3/4 cup buttermilk
1 tsp vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 400F.
In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Rub in butter with your finger tips until mixture resembles coarse crumbs (or pulse a few times in a food processor). Stir in buttermilk and vanilla extract until the dough comes together. Add an additional tablespoon of buttermilk if the dough is slightly dry.
Drop by 1/4 cups (use a measuring cup) onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Bake for 15 minutes, or until golden.
Cool completely on a wire rack.
Top these with strawberries that have been sliced and tossed with a little sugar. Some fresh whipped cream rounds it out perfectly.
