Fabulous Friday!

As I was looking through recipes this morning, I stumbled across this one and HAD to post it. It looked way too yummy not too!
Red, White and Blueberry Trifle

Ingredients:
10 oz angel food cake, cut into 1-inch cubes (store bought would save time!)
2 pints strawberries, sliced
2 pints blueberries

For the cream filling:
6 tbsp fat-free sweetened condensed milk (I used Borden Eagle)
1 1/2 cups cold water
1 package sugar-free white chocolate instant pudding mix
12 oz fat-free frozen whipped topping, thawed

Directions
:
Whisk the condensed milk and water in a bowl. Whisk in the pudding mix for 2 minutes. Let stand for 2 minutes or until soft-set; fold in the whipped topping.

Arrange half of the cake in the bottom of a 14-cup trifle dish. Sprinkle evenly with a layer of blueberries. Spread half of the cream mixture over the blueberries and gently spread (I piped it using a plastic bag and cut the corner off). Top with a layer of strawberries. Layer the remaining cake cubes on top of the strawberries, then add more blueberries and top with the remaining cream mixture. Finish with the remaining strawberries and blueberries, arranging them in a pretty pattern. Cover and refrigerate at least one 1 hour.

Fabulous Findings

Now, onto our Fabulous Findings! This finding, while fabulous, is not really a finding at all. In fact, if you haven't heard of it by now I would be surprised. What am I talking about? Bountiful Baskets! Bountiful Baskets is a food co-op that you can participate in (usually every other week). You have until a certain time to order (usually by Wednesday) and then on Saturday you go to the nearest location and pick up the good stuff. You never know what you are going to get that week. It can range from super yummy fruit (which is why I love them during the summer) to vegetables you have NO idea what they are or how to use them! But, you always end up with some really good stuff for a REALLY good price! You can check out their website by googling Bountiful Baskets and then simply create an account to order. Oh! And one little word of advice - make sure to take a laundry basket or something else to dump your goodies into!
