Trifles

Black Forest Trifle-Pampered Chef


Lime -Berry Mousse Trifle Pampered Chef

I have been dabbling in some new favorites.
Last night I hosted our book group at my house and made the Trifle in the top picture. It was the fourth time I attempted a Pampered Chef Trifle recipe and still the very first recipe I tried is my favorite .
For Mothers day week I volunteered to make desserts for a Birth-Mother appreciation dinner for our local Families Supporting Adoption. I made a similar Brownie Trifles without the cherries and the Lime-Berry Mousse Trifle.
Those of you who know me, know I pretty much don't go a day with out some kind of chocolate. I am a chocolate lover. I admit it. Maybe even an chocoholic. So when I choose a fruit dessert over chocolate it is saying a lot. This Lime-Berry Mousse Trifle is delicious! Both my hubby and I place it above the other 2 brownie trifle recipes I have made. Its pretty and supper tasty. Don't get me wrong the Brownie Trifles are good and well devoured when served but still the Lime -Berry Mousse is so refreshing and unique it takes the cake. I want some now...

Yummy!

For those of you who signed up for the pay it forward post on home made gift from me, I am really wishing I could make this for you but I some how doubt it would keep in the mail.

Who doesn't love Babies


We had a nice but too short visit from aunt Cole and baby Owen a few weeks ago while on their way to Texas. Benji was anxious to "hold" him and got to feel how soft his hair is. It was really sweet.
Benji was upset about how far aunt Cole and uncle Will were moving but calmed down when I told him he would see them at family Reunion next month.
