One of the things I love most about the summer months is enjoying fresh fruits and vegetables. I recently had an overage of strawberries and made this delicious Skillet Strawberry Cobbler.

I love fresh strawberries just about any way they can be eaten. One of my favorite ways is in this warm cobbler served with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream!
Earlier this week I made these AH-MAZING Frozen Pineapple Strawberry Margaritas and bought wayyyyy too many strawberries (I don’t know what I was thinking?). But I put them to good use in this cobbler… see those strawberries bubbling around the edges of that crust?!
And what makes it even better is eating it warm with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream. Can’t skip the ice cream! Enjoy!

Ingredients
For the filling:
- 5 cups halved fresh strawberries (sometimes I quarter or slice in thirds depending on size of berry)
