WANT A ROCKIN 4TH OF JULY RED, WHITE, AND BLUE TREAT!!!!

 

 

 

 

 

Happy 4th of July to you all!!!  Any opportunity I can take to make some kind of themed trifle....I get so excited!!  Trifles are so cool because they look as if you've slaved in the kitchen all day baking something truly special for everyone to enjoy, but in reality they are so easy and fun to make.  O.K....I am no Martha Stewart...I start with a boxed cake mix (yeah...so what!!) or even better, your local supermarket always has some fresh baked pound cake or angel food cake ready for you pick up and take home.  You can make a trifle in a big glass trifle dish or even more fun, you can use small plastic "clear" cups for individual trifles.  Ingredients are easy....start the bottom layer with cubed angel food or pound cake. Next layer, add vanilla pudding (Jello brand already prepared is my favorite!).   Then, add a layer of blueberries and another layer of cake.  Last, add a layer of whipped cream (I like Cool Whip!!) and then top with strawberries or raspberries.  Yum, Yum!!!! Now dig in and enjoy this tasty treat guilt free.  If you do make a large trifle.....a sparkler inserted in the middle when serving makes quite the scene!   Remember, life is about BALANCE.....not SELF DEPRIVATION!!!  Celebrate our Independence!!
