Cooking Thursday

 Today's recipe is a great summer recipe when fresh fruit is available.
I made this with blueberries, strawberries and raspberries, but you can also use peaches.  It's a light, refreshing dessert.

Fruit Trifle

1 - 11 ounce angel food cake loaf, cut into small cubes
2 small boxes instant vanilla sugar free pudding mix
3 cups milk
8 ounces Cool Whip thawed
strawberries, raspberries, blueberries
Place cubed angel food cake in trifle bowl, 9x13 pan or individual trifle bowls.
Mix pudding mix and milk together, stir in Cool Whip.
Pour pudding mix over angel food cake.
Place assorted berries over pudding mix.  Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for several hours before serving.
* This can also be made with fresh peaches instead of berries.

Wordless Wednesday

 

Country roads are my favorite!

 One of my favorite things to do is go down a quiet country road, especially one I've never been on before, and find beauty.  It's not something I've done much of lately, because with gas prices, who can afford to just drive for the fun of it?  :)
Last week, I had an appointment about 30 minutes from home. It was such a beautiful day and instead of taking the main roads home, I decided to take the meandering back roads and see what I could find.
Here's some pictures of some back roads in Michigan.

One of the first things I saw was this flock of wild turkeys.  They didn't seem to be bothered by me, and one even slowly meandered across the road in front of me.

Blue skies, fluffy clouds and a barn!

Split rail fences are always charming.

Queen Anne's lace in the sunshine.

Looking over a huge field of corn.

I even found this field of sunflowers.

Rolling hills and more fluffy clouds.

This barn doesn't look like it has much longer to stand.  I bet it was a good looking barn in its day.

The corn is getting so tall.

Thanks for coming along!
