With us being sick this week, we missed celebrating a lot of #Holidays that happened in February including February 27 National Strawberry Day #NationalStrawberryDay. David loves anything made with Strawberries so I was thinking Charlie and I would make his dad a Strawberry Cheesecake for dessert.
While making the Strawberry Cheesecake I want to make a extra Cheesecake for David’s dad. Would you want to join us, and we can make one for your family as well? I might even make one to take to Lisa and Larry.
If your #Homeschooling your children, you could have them study Strawberries and make a Kid-Friendly Strawberry Cheesecake Recipe. If you have the opportunity, take your children on a homeschool #FieldTrip to a Pick Your Own Farm and let them pick Strawberries for dinner this evening.
Celebrate National Strawberry Day with a Sweet Treat!
February 27th is National Strawberry Day, and what better way to celebrate than with a dessert that’s as fun to make as it is to eat?
