Monday's dinner...Independence Day

July 4th was a hot one-so, we ate indoors

What do you think about this Patriotic Trifle?

This bowl weighed about 4 or 5 lbs! lol

What a blessing to have each of these smiling faces around

the table!

We hope that your 4th was a fun family time together too!

Thanks to Taste of Home for the recipe:

 Patriotic Trifle Recipe

Directions

• In two small bowls, combine each gelatin flavor with 1 cup boiling water. Stir 1/2 cup cold water into each. Pour each into an ungreased 9-in. square pan. Refrigerate for 1 hour or until set.
• In a large bowl, whisk milk and pudding mixes for 2 minutes. Let stand for 2 minutes or until soft-set. Fold in 2 cups whipped topping.
• Set aside 1/4 cup blueberries and 1/2 cup strawberries for garnish. Cut the gelatin into 1-in. cubes. In a 3-qt. trifle bowl or serving dish, layer the strawberry gelatin, half of the cake cubes, the remaining blueberries and half of the pudding mixture.
