After spending the 3 day weekend with family & friends, suddenly Easter is here. No, I had not given Easter dinner much thought. Mustard Roasted Leg of Lamb is now on the menu complete with all of the trimmings. Dessert???
Strawberry Shortcake! It comes in quite handy for me to check out my own blog for foodie ideas! :) Strawberry Shortcake is definitely a family fave! Fresh sliced strawberries or in my case - I reach into our large freezer & locate a package of the frozen sliced slightly sweetened strawberries that only need to be defrosted. Today 2 packages of the frozen strawberries will be placed in the fridge to defrost - ready for Sunday.
The Shortcake will be prepared tomorrow in a 9" round cake pan. Vanilla Ice Cream & Whipped Cream have been purchased, so we are good to go! This is a very easy, very delicious dessert!

Your strawberry shortcake looks delicious! Easy and good!
Happy Easter to you and yours!
Strawberry shortcake is one of my favorite desserts. I've never had it with ice cream, just whipped topping. I'll have to try it that way next time. Thanks for sharing and congrats to your son!
