Strawberries really signal that summer is here! I can\u2019t wait for the first big, juicy red berry of the season.<\/p>\n

Probably the most popular way to enjoy strawberries — other than eaten from hand! — is strawberry shortcake. My recipe for Strawberry Citrus Shortcake with Zesty Orange Biscuits & 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 – yum!<\/p>\n

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

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

Strawberry Citrus Shortcake with Zesty Orange Biscuits & Grand Marnier Cream
\n<\/strong>Orange zest and Grand Marnier give a flavor pop to this iconic dessert.<\/p>\n

2 pints (about 4 cups) fresh strawberries
\n1\/4 \u2013 1\/3 cup sugar, more or less to taste, depending on the tartness of the berries
\n———————
\n2 1\/3 cups Original Bisquick\u00ae<\/sup> Mix
\n1\/2 cup milk
\n3 Tbsp. sugar
\n3 Tbsp. melted butter
\n1 Tbsp. finely minced orange zest<\/p>\n

3\/4 cup whipping cream
\n1\/4 cup powdered sugar
\n2 Tbsp. Grand Marnier liqueur (optional)<\/p>\n

Heat an oven to 425 degrees F.<\/p>\n

Slice strawberries, place in a bowl, sprinkle with sugar and stir gently. Set aside.<\/p>\n

In a medium bowl, stir together the Bisquick mix, milk, sugar, butter, and orange zest, until a soft dough forms. Divide dough into six pieces and gently shape into 6 rounds about 2 1\/2 inches across. Place on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake for about 10 minutes or until golden brown.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile in a small bowl, whip the cream and powdered sugar until just soft-peaked. Stir in Grand Marnier if using.<\/p>\n

To serve, split shortcakes and spoon on berries. Top with whipped cream and place biscuit tops slightly askew.<\/p>\n
