Classic Strawberry Shortcakes





Mmmm strawberry shortcake, just yummy! I have to say that I've tried this recipe many times especially in the summer and always it's a winner. I love making the shortcakes especially with Bisquick mix they come out perfect everytime. They're so good you can eat them as is with NO strawberries :) I plan to make these for Memorial Day weekend and you might like to try it out too!



Classic Strawberry Shortcakes

1 quart (4 cups) strawberries, sliced

1/4 cup sugar

2 1/3 cups Original Bisquick® mix

1/2 cup milk

3 tablespoons sugar

3 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted

1/2 cup whipping cream


1. Heat oven to 425°F. In large bowl, mix strawberries and 1/4 cup sugar; set aside.
2. In medium bowl, stir Bisquick mix, milk, 3 tablespoons sugar and the butter until soft dough forms. On ungreased cookie sheet, drop dough by 6 spoonfuls.
3. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown. Meanwhile, in small bowl, beat whipping cream with electric mixer on high speed until soft peaks form.
4. Split warm shortcakes; fill and top with strawberries and whipped cream.

Creative Bug


Crackle Ice Beads


Creative Bug

Well I'm on fire, the creative bug has hit me this weekend and made at least 12 pairs of earrings! Also made a bracelet with beautiful nugget type beads that look like crackled ice, a necklace or it could be a bracelet have not decided yet which way I want to take it, but it is made up of cute little Millefiore beads, very spring summer.

I'm not finished yet I have so many things I want to make and not enough time to do it all. Does that happen to you?

I enjoy designing and creating but have a hard time with getting things listed, but know if I do not list then how is anyone going to see the new designs, so must do!

Next up will be photo shoot for the new jewelry then the listings and decide where I want to list what either on Artfire, Etsy or my own website :)

How are your creative juices flowing are you on a roll?
