I have a package of frozen strawberries I'd like to use. What should I make?
 
Strawberry Margaritas......Strawberry Dacquiries......Strawberry Preserves......Strawberry Ice Cream.......Strawberry Slushie..........Strawberry Milkshake..........
 
Have you ever had one of those fruit and yogurt parfaits from McDonalds? I love to make my own. I use vanilla yogurt, frozen strawberries and blueberries and top it off with some granola cereal. YUM!

If you want to use them for a PC Party or even if it's for you couldn't you use them for a coldstone strawberry shortcake ice cream creation?
 
I like to eat those thawed over rocky road ice cream with soem nuts and whipped cream!!

Also great in a smoothie or like KAren said in a yogurt parfait
 
Strawberries...I always use left over strawberries to make freezer jam.
 
If you have the Delightful Desserts cookbook you could make the Strawberry Margarita Squares. They are so yummy! I could almost eat a whole pan by myself...if my husband didn't beat me to it!
 
Strawberry smoothies
either use strawberry / plain/ or vanilla yogurt
blend in with frozen strawberries and if you'd like blend in with ice too. you may want to add some (white) milk if you'd like :)
