May is National Strawberry Month and I am celebrating by bringing you facts and recipes concerning strawberries. Strawberries along with other citrus foods are among the best sources for vitamin C. Strawberries also contain vitamin D and vitamin E. With all the health benefits and great taste of strawberries you simply must celebrate this month and find new ways to add strawberries in your recipes.
I have come across many strawberry recipes for desserts and salads yet I wanted to find unusual recipes to showcase strawberries in a different light. After all, not everyone craves strawberry shortcake or chocolate covered strawberries. How can that be? Actually, I am one of those people. I prefer strawberries in their natural form or simply adorned with whipped cream. To broaden my horizons with strawberry recipes I am seeking a different approach.
The following recipe is not diet friendly yet if eaten in moderation it will be fine to consume. You may want a slice with your morning coffee or a slice for dessert. The recipe was found on Strawberry Recipes.com! Keep in mind you can substitute the eggs for egg substitute and mashed bananas for the shortening.
