Strawberries are synonymous with spring, and that’s why May is the perfect month to celebrate them.

Fresh strawberries are the first fruit to ripen each spring, and can be used in recipes from breakfast to dessert. Some of our favorites include Strawberry and Bacon Stuffed French Toast, Strawberry Jalapeño Wings, Theo’s Strawberry Chicken, Strawberry Cheesecake Milkshakes and Strawberry Short Cake.
