Whole Wheat Strawberry Shortcake

Now it's time for dessert!  Strawberry shortcake is always a special treat this time of year when the local strawberries are fresh.  This version features a whole wheat shortcake, a variation on a recipe from my mother-in-law.  The perfect ending to a meal on a warm summer evening.  Go find yourself some fresh local strawberries soon, and make some shortcake!
