It’s Strawberry Season in Michigan, Here’s Where To Go

When I think of strawberry season my mouth starts to water, why, because I start thinking about one of my favorite desserts. Strawberry shortcake with lots of whip cream. Or how about homemade strawberry shakes, and of course chocolate-covered strawberries.

YUM. Well, the season is underway here in the Mitten now through mid-July.
