If the warmer temperatures we’ve been experiencing lately are any indication of the kind of summer we’re going to have this year, it is sure to be a scorcher! This week’s recipe will be great to have for the warmer days to come. It would also be beautiful served at a baby shower for a girl!
We have tried to track down the original source of this recipe but still are not sure. It’s one of those you discover when looking for recipes you’ve clipped and saved. We think it was shared with us by the wife of the director of a department The Lucky Wife worked for at Samaritan’s Purse some years ago. We made it recently while visiting Paw-Paw and Nana (The Lucky Wife’s parents). Paw-Paw loves strawberries; Nana does not care for them. They both really liked this dessert!
