Red Velvet Trifle Update 2013...


Hey friends! If you need an easy Christmas holiday dessert- 
and I do mean easy, this is your recipe.
The picture below is from a blog post this time last year. This trifle only had red velvet cake and whipping cream with chocolate syrup on top. It was good, but the Red Velvet Trifle recipe below is-
 SO. MUCH. BETTER.
Simple instructions:
Buy-
One Red Velvet Cake Mix- bake. Set aside to cool.
One large box of instant vanilla pudding (you will need 3 cups of milk to mix with pudding mix)
Make pudding and set aside.
One large cool whip.
One bag of peppermint pieces. (By the chocolate chips in your grocery store.)
Layer starting with the cake- use half the pan and crumble in the bottom of the trifle dish.
Spread half of the pudding on cake and then a layer of cool whip.
Repeat, then sprinkle peppermint pieces on top.
Waa Laa. Done.
Enjoy with a large cup of steaming coffee and hopefully some fun conversation with good friends.
I just enjoyed this little dessert with my new friends where I work.
They are delightful and it was a great Christmas celebration.
This layered yumminess has affectionately been called "Christmas in your mouth."
And to my friends that I review applications with- do not check my spelling or grammar or word sentence structure. Plllllllllleeeeeaaaaassssseee.  It is my blog I can care if I want to. :)
Have a super rest of this day!
Walk the walk and talk the talk.
It's all about Jesus.

Enjoy.  Alaska memories. Love this fat Santa above. Thrilled with how this little wreath turned out. Happy Christmas decorating! Remember: Your family probably does not care if your house looks like something out of Southern Living. They love the traditions and old ornaments and chipped Christmas mugs and plates. Our kids sure do. It is hard when we compare what we have to other people's "things" or decorations. We are all so richly blessed. I say, just don't do it. I am trying to hav

Camp Blue Haven-2012

Image
Mountains green, sparkling streams, every morning you greet me. Pine trees tall, waterfalls, blue skies canopied o'er me. May I know as I live and grow, God forsakes me never. May His love from above bless Blue Haven forever.  And what a blessing it was this summer to be back up in the cool mountains with so many people that we love.  As I reflected on this special place I thought about how big of an influence it has been on our children and our hearts.  At camp time slows down. There are so few distractions. The focus is on fellowship, enjoying God's creation and growing in knowledge of Him.  It has been a place to teach us what our life in this world should be about. It has also been a glimpse of what I think heaven will be a little like.  It has taught us to stay close to one another, to be accountable to each other and to live an out loud life for Christ. No holding back. Living it. Because of the encouragement and growth that happens here we are bett
