Simple Strawberry Shortcake
"I don't think this really qualifies as a recipe, more like combining a few different items for a super easy, delicious dessert. Throw the strawberries in the fridge before you start making dinner and then put it all together in just a couple minutes after the meal. Big hit with the husband..."

Fantastic. This is my favorite dessert! Did not use the mint. I will be making this often during the summer months. Thanks for sharing.
