Red Velvet Trifle...


So easy it's embarrassing!
Here it is:

One box of Betty Crocker Red Velvet Cake mix.
1 semi sweet choc. chips
1 small Half and Half- (use half a cup)
1small carton of whipping cream
1 package of cream cheese
Half cup sugar

Bake cake (follow box directions), let cool and crumble.
Stir together cream cheese, sugar and whipping cream with blender until smooth.
Melt chocolate chips in bowl and then add half and half. Stir until smooth.
Layer in trifle dish. 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 have the attitude of gratitude. I said it a few weeks ago-
And I will say it again...just for myself:
Colossians 2: 6-7
So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in Him,  rooted and built up in Him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.

Blessings! Amy

Hi Amy! I have to make this. LOVE red velvet cake! This looks awesome! My daughter made some red velvet cake balls for Thanksgiving and now between you and her, I have a hankering for some more! She will love this recipe, too - her boyfriend loves any kind of trifle!

I agree with you - I'm trying to just use what I've got for Christmas decor and staying away from the craft stores. Your wreath looks great over the table! I never thought about doing that!

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
