Strawberry season is here, and the best way to enjoy these sweet, juicy fruits is picked straight from the patch. Strawberry picking is a great family-fun way to spend a warm and sunny afternoon. Plus, kids are more likely to try new foods when they learn how their food grows! After you’ve picked the strawberry patch clean, take the delicious berries home and try one of these healthful recipes from our friends at Cooking Light.
