I'm seeing strawberries all over the place these days and while I love to eat them as is, sometimes I like a little change of pace. And because I've got that out of control sweet tooth, this recipe can really hit the spot. And it only takes two ingredients.. hello easy!

1 9-inch Angel food cake
3 pints ripe strawberries

2. Core strawberries than mash until juicy.

For a little more zing (and calcium) dollop a spoonful of nonfat vanilla yogurt on top. If you can find a low sugar yogurt even better.

Many thanx to my dear friend Dona Richwine, RD, MS for coming up with this gem.
