I can\u2019t wait for the first big, juicy red berry of the season.<\/p>\n<p>Probably the most popular way to enjoy strawberries &#8212; other than eaten from hand! &#8212; is strawberry shortcake. My recipe for <strong>Strawberry Citrus Shortcake with Zesty Orange Biscuits &amp; Grand Marnier Cream <\/strong>is quick and easy. But if you want to add another twist, add in some mini chocolate chips into the biscuit mix\u2026 orange and chocolate is d\u2019lish together &#8211; yum!<\/p>\n<p>On the non-dessert side, strawberries have multiple possibilities. I love to add them to a baby spinach salad with thin slivers of sweet Walla Walla onion and glazed almonds, then dressed it all with a poppy seed vinaigrette. A light and refreshing summer salad.<\/p>\n<p>If you don\u2019t have strawberries of your own to pick, there are many great farms for \u201cU-picking\u201d. And if you have had a big day of picking but still have not eaten your fill while in the field, sit down and relax with a big, glistening bowl of just-picked juicy berries. -Kathy<\/p>\n<p><strong>Strawberry Citrus Shortcake with Zesty Orange Biscuits &amp; Grand Marnier Cream<br \/>\n<\/strong>Orange zest and Grand Marnier give a flavor pop to this iconic dessert.<\/p>\n<p>2 pints (about 4 cups) fresh strawberries<br \/>\n1\/4 \u2013 1\/3 cup sugar, more or less to taste, depending on the tartness of the berries<br \/>\n&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;<br \/>\n2 1\/3 cups Original Bisquick<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> Mix<br \/>\n1\/2 cup milk<br \/>\n3 Tbsp. sugar<br \/>\n3 Tbsp. melted butter<br \/>\n1 Tbsp. finely minced orange zest<\/p>\n<p>3\/4 cup whipping cream<br \/>\n1\/4 cup powdered sugar<br \/>\n2 Tbsp.
