You can find the recipe here. The "shortcakes" are actually sweet vegan biscuits topped with sugared strawberries and creamy Soyatoo. Yum, yum!Stephanie (Poopie Bitch), her husband, and I hand-picked a combined eight pounds of organic berries (I got five pounds, she got three) at Windermere Farms on Saturday morning. Windermere is a small locally-owned farm in Raleigh, a suburb of Memphis. Farmers Frieda and Ken Lansing grow strawberries (and later lima beans and squash) every year, and they're certified organic!
Last night, I used more berries to make this Strawberry Pop from Vegan Soul Kitchen:
I won't divulge Bryant Terry's recipe since it's printed in his cookbook, but it's basically a carbonated, healthy version of strawberry soda! A tall glass of this was super-refreshing in our 80 degree temps!

I had some of the strawberries tonight, they were soooo good! I'm thinking of more ways to use them up... I'm thinking we might have to go back to pick more soon.
Also, I can't believe you gave The Brit credit for picking strawberries, when all he did was stand there and watch us do all the work! :)
Oooh! I would love that beautiful shortcake, such rich and gorgeous colors. Wow, I bet it was tasty! And I am so intrigued by the strawberry soda, I can just imagine how refreshing it is.
dayummm Bianca, that shortcake is ab gorgeous! it's so vibrant and fresh. Nothing's ever screamed "summer" louder :)

I want some Strawberries SO BADLY right now! They aren't in season here yet but I am waiting for that farmers market!
Mmm that strawberry shortcake looks delicious - perfectly summary. Strawberry soda sounds great too!
Haha what a cute title, Bianca :)

Shortcake is one of my all time favorite desserts ever!
And I'll need to try that pop! (and yay for saying "pop" and not "soda", lol)
Oh my goodness, its heaven! Both of those look absolutely divine!
Ohh, delicious! I wish I had somewhere near me to get vegan whipped cream! Gah, I miss it so much.
Hooray for summer, and strawberries! Beautiful.
That strawberry soda is very intriguing!
*Mouth watering*
*thinking of the fastest way to get to the store to buy strawberries*

Oooh, I need to try that strawberry soda! And those shortcakes look awesome. I've been getting tons of strawberries from my CSA lately, so I'm on the look out for yummy things to make with them.
Thank goodness it's strawberry season. I don't think I could have eaten one more apple or pear.
The fresh strawberries are so amazing now! I just made some strawberry shortcakes too, only I didn't have any whipped cream :(
I love the pictures. Calls out to me ;D
And the whipped cream - I went to heaven and came back to comment :D
Strawberry fields indeed!
Holy wow! What a way to kick of berry season.
OMG!!! I haven't had strawberry shortcake since I was a kid and my jaw just hit the floor that looks so good!
Oooooh! I haven't gone strawberry picking since I was maybe 7 or 8. There is a great picture of me and my friend sitting on the front porch of my old house, after strawberry picking, with pints of berries in our laps and strawberry juice smeared all over our faces.
I don't know that I've ever actually *had* strawberry shortcake though...but that looks fantastic (and I love Soyatoo!)

Gorgeous! I don't think I've had a proper vegan strawberry shortcake yet, but now sounds like a good time for it.
I love berry season!!!! It hasn't quite started here in Portland, but soon!!!!! Your shortcakes and soda have me wishing for an 80 degree day so that I may lounge in the sun and enjoy them.
