A Sprinkle of This and That: Strawberrytini Parfaits

Are you getting prepared for the big night?

You know...your gown...sparkly shoes...lots of fancy bling.

Oscar Night is this Sunday and I am getting ready! My favorite pajamas and fluffy slippers are all laid out. Yep, I am getting all decked out for the big night. Tee, hee, hee. I may not be dressed in my finest, but the snacks I will be serving will be worthy of an Oscar. Let's start with a dessert because you know only good things come from something sweet. This dessert is light on the hips yet sweet on the lips! Oh yes, you won't have to worry about slipping into your fancy pants!

Don't let the name fool you. There isn't any alcohol involved. It's more about a tiny strawberry dessert...strawberrytini...get it? Ha! You could add a little alcohol if you wanted, but this dessert is just fine the way it is. It's little yet packs a strawberry punch! Fancy enough for Oscar viewing, Easter Sunday brunch or a beautiful Spring or Summer day! Those days ARE coming you know.
