3 lbs of strawberries

[cam]

I thawed a pound of strawberries, then later I accidentally left two more pounds sitting out, so now I have THREE pounds of thawed strawberries. I need ideas. I already have strawberry cake in the freezer, so we don't need more of that. The pound I thawed on purpose is for smoothies. What else would be good for using them up quickly so they don't go to waste? Please, please, please help me think of ideas as I of course can't think of a thing since I need to do so.

You could do strawberry Danish or strawberry muffins. You could use them in or to top pancakes or waffles. Make stuffed French toast or crepes with Nutella and strawberries.
Or my kids would just eat them. I can't keep strawberries in the house. I need to hide them if I need them for something.

I also put frozen strawberries straight into the blender for smoothies. When the fruit is all frozen you don't need ice.

SMH. I hate days when my brain isn't working (which explains how I ended up with so many strawberries in the first place). I have the Irish equivalent of crepes already in the fridge! I probably can get a pound used there.

My kid usually inhales strawberries too but thawed look different so that makes them unsuitable for eating as is. 4-year-olds!

I do the frozen ones for smoothies too. I just let them start to soften a bit first if they come out of the deep freezer so they actually blend. Brain fart number two was not checking to make sure I had bananas left, which is why they are fully thawed. I grew up with ice in them, but I am not good at stocking ice, so I started skipping it. Lazy or genius? I vote genius.

Grrr. I guess me talking about food made the internet hungry as it ate my second response.

luvboston, I haven't had shortcake in ages. Some of the third pound sounds good going towards that. Maybe I'll have to make a margarita to polish off the remainder. Oh, the hardships.

Sangria?

Now I'm hungry for all the strawberries.

Now I am going to need to thaw even more for all the deliciousness. I can't believe I couldn't think of any of these things, especially some that we actually have fairly often. SMH!
