Who's not for Short Cakes?

As Ra-Ray says, "If you don't hear me say it on the show, I probably don't know it." I love that freshness about her - she's so real, and that's so right. Honestly, if I had to choose just ONE desert from today's photos (the Ra-Ray photo was taken with my phone right off the telly), I don't know that I could. Could you? "Let's not and say we did", and simply COMBINE the two, using these beautiful berries and Her recipe! Talk about Dovetailing nicely! How to?

2 Tbsp. softened Neufchatel Cheese (TOOL TIP: 1/3 Less Fat than Cream Cheese, with 2/3 the flavor)
1 Tbsp. strawberry preserves
2 individual-portion sponge cake "bowls"
1 cup sliced fresh ORGANIC strawberries (10 or so big ones)
2 Tbsp. thawed COOL WHIP LITE Whipped Topping
COMBINE Neufchatel cheese and preserves, then gently spoon evenly over cake bowls. Top with strawberries, and then top with topping.

If you have leftover berries, mix them with a dallop of preserves, then spread atop creamy-cheesy whole-wheat Freedom-Toast for a breakfast treat. Whenever I serve this dish, my sweetie exclaims "Boom berries!" I'll take that as a compliment!
