Wonderful for Summer.......I do the Angel Almond Skillet Cake with the Fresh Fruit Topping (It's from a SB about 2yrs ago I think) - I'll have to find the actual recipe and post it - it is absolutely delicious, and so easy - and at my show this week, 2 people were absolutely ecstatic because they are on WW,and had saved 5 points hoping to at least have something to eat at the show and were able to have a regular sized portion! It's also very pretty to look at!
