I hardly feel this should be considered a recipe, yet it’s our favorite easy dessert for 4th of July. And for all of you who need something fast to bring to a BBQ or a lake retreat this is perfect. My friend Sharin introduced me to preparing Strawberry Shortcake this way on one of my visits to her peaceful and pleasant home. Of course all, if not most of us, know to use Angel food Cake for the cake part, but how many of us have tried Sara Lee’s pound cake?! Hey I told you easy peasy! No cooking? You say what? Yes, please give yourself a break this weekend and go enjoy your friends and family. Leave the cooking to the men with the grills. We deserve a day off!
