Shortcake on plate with fork.

Strawberry shortcake has got to be my most favourite summer recipe, although I could eat it anytime of the year!

The cake drenched with strawberries and whip cream…I could eat it breakfast, lunch and dinner.

And oh yeah, for dessert too!

Strawberries are always on hand in our house this time of year so it doesn’t take much to whip up this shortcake recipe in no time at all.

And yesterday was Canada Day so these colours were the perfect fit!

My kids have been in pony camp this week. It’s truly adorable.

I grew up on a hobby farm so it’s wonderful to see my kids on a farm and enjoying every minute of it.

I have such wonderful memories growing up on our hobby farm. We had a garden next to our barn and all I wanted was strawberries.

Picking fresh ripe strawberries and eating them right there is pure bliss.
