Hello July

I don't know about you all, but I know that I always start off the month of July thinking of where I'm spending the 4th and who I am spending it with.  Will I travel or stay home?  Where will I take the fam to watch the fireworks?  And most importantly, which BBQ will I be attending...lol...because I love food.  So, I thought I would share one of my favorite recipes to take wherever I end up on the 4th.

This 4th of July Trifle is my favorite because it’s easy with just 4 ingredients and it’s refreshingly delicious.  It’s always a huge hit with the adults as well as the kiddos.  Go ahead – try it this 4th of July and let me know if it goes over as well for you as it does for me.
