Strawberry Trifle Recipe on Food Friday

You're all wondering what happened to my recipe earlier?  Well, as you know, Blogger has been unavailable for awhile, so I was unable to post this recipe.  I checked this morning and it was still down.  I had forgotten that I'd put together a "skeleton" of my Food Friday post earlier in the week, just to save time in this busy week of remodeling.  Well, I had to go into the cities and take my mom to a doctor appointment, and when I got home I found out that you got a half-baked recipe this week--but not intentionally.  No, I wasn't teasing you!


Here is the recipe I intended for you.  Kelsey made this for Mother's Day.  Obviously we like Strawberry Desserts! (Check out that link for a dessert and a potato bake recipe.) If you've never tried making a Trifle, they're very easy, look impressive, and are delicious!  You can find small trifle bowls fairly cheaply at WalMart, etc., but any dish with fairly straight sides will work.  Have some fun and make a Trifle this week! They're really a great dessert for spring.
