Bisquick Dilemma

So, yeah, we've been eating strawberries lately. Which means, in addition to stawberries out of hand, and strawberries on our cereal, that there is a big demand for strawberry shortcake.

How do we make it? With, of course, Bisquick. Why? Its the tradition in both of our families, and, frankly even more important, its easy. And quick.

I was in a rush on Fathers Day to make shortcake to take down to my in-laws for our cookout. Ran in the door with the Bisquick box. Luke took it out of my hands and scrutinized the ingredients. He sniffed as he read, "partially hydrogenated soybean (and/or cottonseed) oil." Luke is, quite rightly, on a quest to cut that ingredient out of his diet.

But guess what gets cut out of my schedule (among many other things). Taking the time, effort, and energy to figure out how not to use Bisquick. Probably wouldn't be that hard, or take that long, but what with all the other things I'm not doing....

Anyway, Bisquick shortcakes it was, and has been so far all strawberry season. (Luke eats 'em, too, by the way....) So the only hope for a change to more wholesome ingredient shortcakes is if Luke takes on the task himself. So far? Not yet....
