    Lemon Meringue pie. Angel food cake with strawberries is a favorite at our house. Mix up an angelfood cake mix as directed on the box. Line a jelly roll pan with waxed or parchment paper. Spread cake mix in pan until smooth. Bake about 20 minutes at temp on box. Flip hot cake onto a kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar. Peel off paper. Let cool about five minutes. Roll up jelly roll fashion and let cool completely.( cake need to still be hot when you roll it or it may break)Take 1 1/2 cups of whipping cream and whip it adding about 6 tbsp of powdered sugar as you whip it. add 1 tsp vanilla. Unroll cake and spread the whipped cream on cake. Thinly slice a quart of strawberries over cream and roll it up. Cover and chill a couple of hours. Looks really pretty if you top it with a strawberry fan. Or you can purchase an angelfood cake and make it as a trifle.

    I do not know name of this but very easy and wonderful NO CALORIRE!! HA. Buy thin chocolate cookies about 3-4" diameter, not available every where, Beat Whipping cream with a some sugar added. Put cream between cookies, squeeze together to form a log. Frost outside with cream also. Decorate with spring colored sprinkles or minature jelly beans. Refridgerate overnight. To serve slice at a 45 degree angle. I promise you raves and an empty serving plate

    One easy, but really cute dessert is to make a Bundt cake--your favorite, but I like a rich pound cake. Fill the center hole with coconut dyed green. Put a nice size chocolate bunny in the center, along with some jelly beans. You may ice the top if you want or dust it with powdered sugar before decorating. You could also place a few Peeps or smaller chocolate bunnies around the bottom.

(And if you want to simplify, you can pipe a bit of frosting, perhaps green, around the center, and just put in some candied eggs.)

    Try Christmas cookies, they might think you are crazy enough that they won't ask again. You might get promoted to salads or something.

    Strawberry yogurt pie...One drained pint of (thawed) frozen strawberries, one 8-ounce container of strawberry yogurt, one 8-oz container of Cool Whip. Mix it all together and put into a graham cracker crust and chill. It's a great easy pie and my grandkids fight over it!

    That's a good one loriea

    How about a strawberry upside-down cake. The recipe I use is on www.allrecipes.com. The only thing I do different is to make it in 2 round pans and use 2 small pkgs of jell-o (1 per pan). I was having difficulty getting it to dump out and this is an easy enough solution. Sometimes I make it with raspberries and raspberry jell-o instead since we have raspberry bushes in the yard. Be sure to bring the whipped topping though.
