Berry Punch Bowl Parfait Trifle

 

 

Hi everyone!

How in the world ARE you guys?! Hope you’re all doing well. Today I’m sharing what has become one of my favorite desserts to whip up. Especially on these hot days like we have been having here in Alabama.
Its SO easy and SO delicious!
Soooo here’s the recipe:
Ingredients:
Angel Food Cake cut into approximately 1 inch cubes
Strawberries rinsed and sliced (2 pints)
Blueberries (Large container)
Cool Whip (Large Container)
Strawberry Glaze
Large Punch Bowl


Ok, so here’s all you have to do…

Just basically layer the ingredients in your pretty punch bowl in this order: 
Using a knife cut your Angel Food Cake into cubes. Place one layer in bottom of punch bowl.  Then add a layer of blueberries and strawberries. On top of your berries add strawberry glaze. Spread a good inch or so of Cool Whip on top. Continue layering in this order until you have reached the top of the bowl. I like to save  some berries to add to the top to make it look pretty.   There ya have it… that is ALL there is to it!! I told you it was easy!   Just refrigerate for a few hours and serve!

Hope you all enjoy this as much as I do!
Here are some photos of the recipe process…

Weekend Craft Soiree {48}

   Hey everyone! Hope you all have had a fantastic week! Since I didn't share features last weekend, I am sharing features from the last 2 parties this weekend... Well, sort of... Unfortunately, the thumbnail pics from last weekend's party aren't showing up on my screen, so I wasn't able to feature as many as I would have liked to... Next weekend, I will definitely make up for it (yet again), haha.  Hope you all have a wonderful Father's Day weekend! :)

Here are a few of your fabulous projects that were linked up...

I am LOVING this gorgeous version of the Book Wreath from Kimberly at Simply Living! Soo pretty and original!

Meredith at Haute to Sew  totally blew me away with her brilliant version of this Penny Coffee Table! You have gotta check out how those pennies are held in place.. :)

I love any upcycling project, but I love it even more when it is also super easy and a knock-off of something more expensive! This Knock-Off Urban Outfitters Cut Lace Vanity Tray from Kimberly at A Night Owl Blog is all of those in one! It's just so pretty and romantic, isn't it?

 

I love practically any kind of salad, especially this time of year! This Deluxe Cheeseburger Salad from Stephanie at Lady With the Red Rocker sounds so delicious!

 Thanks SO much for stopping by and sharing! Each and every one of you seriously rock! I mean that! :)If you were featured this week, feel free to grab a "featured" button! :)

Homemade Chicken Salad {Sort of Like Arby's}

    I don't know about y'all, but I LOVE chicken salad. Especially this time of year! In my opinion, it is just the perfect food. Well, it's perfect when it is prepared right. I'm pretty picky. I actually have 2 different types of chicken salad that I like to make. They are actually very different from one another. I know there are chicken salad recipes all over the web, but today I wanted to share one of my recipes with y'all. I'll share my other recipe soon. :) Now that I am eating a totally gluten-free diet, I find that this is one of the easiest meals I can make and enjoy without feeling one bit deprived.

  This recipe is makes approximately 2 cups which, depending on your serving size, is 2-4 servings. It works out perfectly for me because it's even tastier the next day.  

Recipe:

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or 2 lg cans of chicken, drained... you can even use a rotisserie chicken)
• 1/2 c red seedless grapes, sliced in halves/quarters
• a handful of chopped pecans (about 1/8 cup)
• 1/2 c of mayo (I like the Kraft mayo made with olive oil. It has half the fat/calories and is delicious)
• 1/3 red delicious apple, diced
• salt/pepper to taste

First boil your chicken breasts until they are fully cooked.

Cut up the chicken. I slice mine across the breast about every 1/2 inch and then just pull it apart.

Add mayonnaise. The amount you use is really just personal preference. You may want to start out with a couple of tablespoons and just add more to your liking. I usually use about 1/2 cup.

Add pecans, apple, salt and pepper and stir it all together.

 
  I like to serve mine on a bed of lettuce and it is perfect! It reminds me a lot of Arby's chicken salad, you know the kind they stopped serving a little while back! (I was so upset! haha) It is also wonderful on sandwiches, wraps, or with crackers.





  So tell me, how do you like your chicken salad? Do you eat it on lettuce like me or do you prefer a wrap, sandwich, etc? Hope you all have a wonderful day! :)
