Strawberry Shortcake with Buttermilk Biscuits

 This week has been a busy one with me not feeling so good Sunday, getting blood work done Tuesday, my dad's yearly testing on Tuesday, and I have a dentist app. Thursday.
  • Also last Friday, I ended up dying my hair all dark, dark brown which took 2 years for me to convince my mom to let me do it by slowly dying more and more of my hair. A few people even thought I was a natural brunette. 
  • Saturday I got my cartilage pierced for the 4th time (the first 3 closed), but this was the first time I got it done professionally.
  • Tuesday after coming back from the doctors I got my nose pierced! When it heals, I am going to have this ring.
  • We found a little snake in the chicken coop who had eaten Red's egg, but he got away before we could grab him. We found him and released it out into the field, hoping he won't return.

  We got a big box of strawberries from the co-op so I decided to make strawberry shortcakes, but with homemade buttermilk biscuits and whipped cream. You could use the store bought cakes that have the indention to fill with fruit and whip cream, but making it yourself tastes a lot better and it isn't as hard or time consuming as some may think.

  You could even skip making the biscuits & just make a dessert out of the strawberries and whipped cream.

Homemade Whipped Cream

Sweetened Whipped Cream
Adapted from: Anyone Can Cook Magazine
makes: 16 2-tablespoon servings

*** I used a glass bowl and placed it in the freezer to chill for about 20 minutes or so.

1. In a chilled bowl, combine 1 cp. whipping cream, 3 tbsp. sugar, and 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract.
2. Beat with a hand mixer on medium-high for about 8 minutes or until soft peaks are former.

Since I was baking 1 apple for me I made some changes and made enough whip cream for 2-4 serving.
What I did:

Cinnamon Whipped Cream

1. In a chilled bowl, combine 1/4 cp. cream, 1 tbsp. sugar, 1/8 tsp. cinnamon and beat until soft peaks are formed.

Serve over warm baked apples, hot chocolate, coffee, pie or whatever your heart desires
