Did you know that seven to eight medium sized strawberries makes a serving. In that serving you will have only about 22 calories. This could be one of best kept fruit secrets of all time.

If tradition does not dictate strawberry shortcake for dessert try these variations. Dipped in chocolate Chopped or dipped in your favorite yogurt Dipped in sour cream Dipped in whipped cream, homemade is preferable Dusted with a little confectioners’ sugar

However you eat your strawberries enjoy them in knowledge that they are healthy sweet treats. http://www.gourmayeats.com

If you are looking for a new way to serve and old time favorite I do have a couple of suggestions. I must warn you, that if your family is like mine you may suffer some gentle teasing about re-inventing Twinkie. My personal favorite has been to deep fry my Twinkies in a pancake batter. They do better when left whole, if cut in half vanilla cream tends to ooze out. I have never tried it with banana cream filled version. I find that I am always a bit to excited to tinker with original. A second more decadent treat is to pull out your favorite Tiramisu recipe and substitute Twinkies for lady fingers. http://www.gourmayeats.com
