It's strawberry season in Georgia and I'm here for it.🍓 I've visited the strawberry field every week since the last week of March, when the farms first opened for picking.  We eat a lot of strawberries. 😅

I really love the whole experience of picking my own strawberries.  I enjoy being outside in the fresh air, the exercise of walking through the rows, the fact that I can snack on berries when I get hungry and probably the biggest advantage to picking my own berries - the stems!  Who am I kidding?  I'm just going call them what they really are --- chocolate dipping handles.  😋🍫🍓

There's no question that we eat a lot of chocolate dipped strawberries, but we enjoy the fruit in other ways too.  Lemon Strawberry Crumb Bars is the newest strawberry recipe that I'm adding to my Spring collection.  These were amazing and you don't have to pick your own berries to make these delicious, hand held bars.  As for me, I'll be making a couple of extra batches to keep in the freezer for a day in the future when strawberries aren't in season anymore.
