Sweet Sunday


Who doesn't love kabobs?! I mean seriously, this might just be the easiest summer dessert evah. No baking and ready in minutes. Plus they look cute too. You could even doctor them up with bananas or blackberries. Your call. And I like to serve with a dollop of whip cream for dipping. Perfect for a summer BBQ or 4th of July shindig. Or better yet - whip them up tomorrow for Memorial Day!

~Strawberry Shortcake Kabobs~

Ingredients: Serves 4
16 medium strawberries, hulled                                                 
Angel food or pound cake, purchased at local grocery store                                               
1/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 T reduced-calorie margarine
Whip cream, optional

Directions:
1) Line a cookie sheet with waxed paper
2) Alternately thread 4 strawberries and 3 shortcake quarters onto each of 4 wood or metal skewers
3) Combine chocolate chips and margarine inn a small saucepan
4) Melt over low heat, stirring, until smooth and well-blended
5) Drizzle chocolate over kabobs
6) Refrigerate until set, about 4 minutes

I hope this ends your weekend on a sweet note!

James, who sculpts supermodels Elle Macpherson and Rosie Huntingdon-Whiteley among others, insists there is no ‘one size fits all’ method for getting a flat belly. Instead, he’s identified five key ‘tummy types,’ all of which require a different approach to achieve successful toning. Once you figure out your tummy type (mine is the STRESS BELLY) thanks to the UK Daily Mail , you'll be on your way to getting the perfect midriff... THE SPARE TIRE TUMMY The spare tire: This is one of the easiest tummy troubles to eliminate because it's caused by eating the wrong foods and not exercising enough.
