    *drooling*

    *wondering if I can run out for some berries while the kids are napping, or if that’s considered negligent behavior*

    Strawberry shortcake? Is a thing of perfection.

  2. Keyona says:

    Seriously, Chris. :o)

  3. Amanda says:

    Mouth watering. Must have. Need to make. BRB

  4. Kathy says:

    OMG — I don’t even like strawberries and that looks delicious. :)

  5. Erica says:

    That makes life worth living! Yum.

  6. Kate says:

    Georgous and yummy! Thanks for the inspiration. I’m headed to the farmer’s market in the a.m.

  7. Heather says:

    Yum, yum, yum. In my adult version of these, I soak the strawberries in some Grand Marnier for a few hours. :)

    Chris says: I can’t believe I never thought of that.

  8. wookie says:

    would you believe that in a household of 5, I am the only one who will eat these?

    My kids like their sugar artificially sweetened, but their fruits and veggies plain.

  9. terilynn says:

    I want your pretty plates!

  10. Sherry says:

    Oh come ON now. That’s unfair to taunt me with that picture when I’m fresh out of strawberries and can’t make it until at least tomorrow.

  11. Kami says:

    That looks so YUMMY!

  12. jenny says:

    My grandmother grew up on and raised her children on a farm. One night, every summer, she would serve strawberry shortcake, and nothing else, for dinner. A child’s dream!!

    And thank you for promoting biscuits rather than angel food cake or pound cake–biscuits are the ONLY way to go!

  13. Miguelina says:

    So my OB just gave me high-five yesterday for only gaining three pounds this month. Guess next month will be different. THANKS A LOT, CHRIS.

    Chris says: It’s for the baby. THINK OF THE BABY.

  14. Haley says:

    I made these tonight and wowed everyone! Thanks for the recipe.

  15. Cami says:

    OK, now that you are in Texas, skip the cream and put on a dollop or 2 of Blue Bell Homemade Vanilla …. heavenly!

    If you are looking for a day trip for the summer, you ought to go to Brenham Texas and take a tour of the Ice Cream Factory there, great for the kids! I just took a group of 6 - 8 graders there a few weeks ago!

  16. Alissa says:

    i just want to know where your plate came from. LOVE!

    Chris says: They were a present a very long time ago.

  17. Kathy says:

    Too funny, Chris! I went to the grocery store on the way home from baseball tonight. I got strawberries and thought about making shortcakes sometime this week. You must have ESP. I mistakenly picked up half and half though, instead of cream. Will have to go back!

    I soak my strawberries in a tiny bit of balsamic with the sugar. It adds a little something to it. Delicious!

  18. Bronnie says:

    omg!! that has made my mouth salivate way too much… must make!

  19. Gretchen says:

    Yum! I make the Bisquick and Redi-Whip version, but it’s still just as good. I wish strawberries were this cheap all year!

  20. Ann says:

    I LOVE shortcakes; never liked those icky little sponge cakes. When my sister gives me fresh peaches I make peach shortcakes. YUM!

  21. tammy says:

    i have never made shortcake but think that i am going to try this one. i will give it to youngest as she has taken to baking

    thanks for the recipe

  22. jenB says:

    I want this so badly right now. My favourite part is the whipped cream though. I am like my 5 year old.

  23. brit says:

    yes, yes. I do.

  24. Elisa says:

    That looks soooo delicious. I might just try your recipe! My 9 y.o. LOVES strawberries :-)
