Enjoy this baker's dozen -- 13 -- gorgeous and delicious strawberry recipes: baked goods, beverages, salads and treats, all showcasing ripe, juicy, summertime strawberries.

Enjoy 13 delicious recipes for using fresh and juicy sumertime strawberries

Yo, peeps! Welcome to Week 5 of the CSA Share Ninja Rescue for 2014, where you tell me each week what produce from your CSA share (or garden or farmers' market) you're struggling to use, and I rescue your butt with a list of awesome and healthy recipes on Tuesdays.

Week 5 = strawberries!

OK, I'll admit it -- this week is a bit of a scammy installment of The Rescue. I mean, come on: we both know that no one is ever at a loss for what to do with strawberries, right?

Just. Eat. Them.

But I thought you might appreciate a baker's dozen of amazingly different and delicious recipes for those ripe, juicy strawberries that are showing up at produce stands, farmer's markets and pick-your-own farms all over (including Vermont, finally!). As usual, all these recipes come from my (and hopefully your) favorite bloggers.

Enjoy your strawberries -- and don't forget to stash some in the freezer for the winter!

  1. I had the same thought; who ever has extra strawberries that they don't know what to do with??? Although now that I think about it, I have had an overabundance of ones that were starting to go bad, so I can see having a bunch that are suitable only for baking. Maybe.

    1. I still have a whole bunch in the freezer from LAST year, so I need to make a bunch of these recipes just to make room for the new ones. :-)

  2. So OK, now that I made that comment I actually have a sitution of too many strawberries. With teenage son (AKA the human vacuum) out of town, I grossly overestimated how many strawberries we could eat. Yay for this post!!

    1. And don't forget about freezing them -- it's so awesome to pull them out in, say, JANUARY!!!
