๐Ÿ“ Sweet Strawberry Moments & Simple Spring Joys ๐ŸŒป


When I was growing up, my mom and I had a special little celebration every strawberry season.

The first pack of sweet, great-smelling fresh strawberries we brought home felt like the start of something special.

As a special treat, she would fix Bisquick Strawberry Short Cake (recipe was on the back of the box back then), and the best part, that was all we had for dinner!

When my kids were young, I was a stay-at-home mom watching every dollar in the grocery budget. One trick saved me over and over: start with a box of pasta.
