How do you improve upon spring’s first strawberries? Pair them with kiwi!
Strawberries and kiwi are an amazingly delicious combination. So often I see them paired on top of fluffy, frosted cakes, but you don’t need to go to all that trouble to enjoy them. In fact, they are so good, you can sneak some whole grains into the cake, lower the fat content by using applesauce to replace some of the oil, and use a low-glycemic sugar like coconut palm sugar and your family will not even care.
