First of all, Happy Strawberry Shortcake day!! Yes this is a holiday and definitely one worthy of celebration. Not only are strawberries one of my favorite fruits but Strawberry Shortcake happens to be a nickname of mine. The nickname comes from the food, not this adorable lil lady (although maybe there's some resemblance between us?):
So in honor of this day I give you one of my favorite strawberry shortcake recipes. I actually made it last week before I even knew about this holiday. love this dessert (even though it's not chocolate, it's probably in my top 10 favs) but I've never actually made it. This meant I had to find a yummy recipe. Well Google Reader makes it super simple to search through alllll the blogs I read (and let me tell you, there are a lot!) and helped me to find this one. I love it because it's an Alice Waters recipe and I have a serious girl crush on her. Google her, she's THE California cuisine/eat fresh foods/get schools to have gardens pioneer! She is also the founder of the restaurant Chez Paniesse restaurant which we ate at a few months ago and I took all the pictures but forgot to do the blog post on. Anyways, I think she's cool. You had me at Alice.
Anyways, the shortcakes tasted delicious. I even made then special by cutting them out with a fun cookie cutter - in the shape of the US (why yes, I am a US history nerd!) - instead of circles like suggested. And at this point I wish I had a picture to show you but we gobbled them up too quickly/I completely forgot. Oooppsies.
