While I am away for a few days,
I had asked a few fellow Foodie
Friends to share a recipe with you all.
Carol is a friend I have yet to meet in
person, however I DO KNOW
she is very sweet, and giving!
She has supported me not
only in following my blog also
She has given donations to
help me participate in the
Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the Cure.
I always see her "paying it forward"
to others. I am honored to call her
my friend! Thank you Carol for
helping me out! (((hugs)))

And also on her
So here is a little bit about Carol:
A New Englander by birth and upbringing, I fled the cold weather and moved to Southern California 20+ years ago.
I have a crazy high stress full time day job and am a Pampered Chef Consultant in my spare time. It’s fun, good for my sanity and allows me to generate some additional income every month that I can contribute in support of various charities that are near and dear to my heart. I love helping others near and far!

Cook's Tips:
Ladyfingers are sheets of sponge cake that can be separated into long ovals and are found in the bakery section of most grocery stores.
One 16-oz frozen pound cake, thawed, trimmed and diced into 1-in. cubes, can be substituted for the ladyfingers, if desired.
To create strawberry fan; Take the strawberry by the stem with one hand, and with the other use a paring knife to cut slices into the strawberry. You want to stop slicing just short of the very cap/stem end of the strawberry. Cut between 5 and 7 slices or so, depending on the size of the berry.
