We have no self control when it comes to strawberry recipes. Nothing beckons us to the farmers market like these bright beauties. We could literally eat an entire bushel of the juicy fruits in one sitting, but half the fun is dreaming up a dozen different delicious dishes to create with them! Scroll on for all the ways — from chicken recipes to desserts — that you can make the most of your strawberry finds.
Strawberry Recipes We Can't Wait To Make

Strawberry and rhubarb is one of the ultimate spring pairings (and not just because they're extra colorful). We're making these sweet, fruity Bellinis for all our spring brunches. If you want to make it a mocktail, just leave out the alcohol and make it a juice instead. (via Brit + Co)
