This recipe has been a Trent Tribe fave for years now. (Don't know why I'm just now getting around to sharing it on the blog?) It is easy to double (or triple or quadruple) for a crowd. I recently made it for our Passport Small Group at church.

My tribe requested Strawberry Delight for the 4th of July. Cause what's the 4th of July without good food? And Strawberry Delight is good food.
1 large angel food cake
one 8-oz. pkg cream cheese, softened
one 14-oz can sweetened condensed milk
2 cups whipping cream
2 Tbs. sugar
two 10-oz. pkgs. frozen sweetened sliced strawberries, thawed
Cut the angel food cake into cubes about the size of a walnut. In a mixing bowl combine the cream cheese and sweetened condensed milk, mixing until smooth and completely blended. In a separate bowl, whip the cream with the sugar until stiff. To assemble: in a trifle bowl (I used a punch bowl), layer half the angel food cake cubes, cream cheese mixture, whipped cream and strawberries. Repeat, layering the remaining ingredients, ending with whipped cream and strawberries. Refrigerate.
I thought blueberries were in order. (Red, white, and blue!) They were a yummy addition!
This dessert is kinda like eating a scoop of clouds topped with deliciousness.
It's not summer without pulling out the popsicles molds! Frozen lemonade is pretty much awesome.

1 cup sugar (or splenda)
2 quarts of water
Thanks to Pinterest, I'm gonna get fancy smancy with it this summer and make these:

P.S. Everything is better frozen. Including gatorade, kool aid, and crystal lite peach tea. (I'm the only one who likes that last one.) Y'all it gets hot! We gotta do what we gotta do to stay cool.
P.P.S. Paper cups work just as well as popsicle molds.

Okay guys, this is too good! Our family made marshmallow popcorn (click on the pic above to see recipe) and we couldn't even wait until it was finished cooling to enjoy it! It is the perfect combo of sweet and salty. Mm..mmm...
See for yourselves:
It is so good! It is so easy! And what is Christmas without it?
Last year my lil' gals took over the fudge making responsibilities. They are making some to give away this year as gifts.
2 bags chocolate chips (12 ounce, we use milk chocolate but semisweet are fine)
1 can eagle brand milk
1 tsp vanilla
Pour all the above ingredients in a bowl. Microwave for 2 minutes. Stir until well mixed. Pour on wax paper. Chill in the refrigerator until firm.
Variations: Dreamsicle Fudge. Use white chocolate chips. Replace vanilla with orange extract. Microwave ingredients as above. Remove from microwave. Divide in half. (Work quickly!) Add red and yellow food coloring to half to achieve desired orange color. Swirl with white. Pour on wax paper. Refrigerate.
1 Brownie Mix (or this recipe for brownies from scratch)
24 Miniature Peanut Butter Cups
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line 24 regular muffin cups with paper cupcake liners. Prepare brownie mix according to "cake like" directions. Pour Brownie batter into baking cups. Fill baking cups half full. Insert a mini peanut butter cup in the center of the brownie. Push it down into the batter just until the batter and the peanut butter cup are level. Bake at 350 degrees for 18 - 20 minutes. Cool Completely. Makes aprox. 24 brownie cupcakes. YUMMY!
My kids love it when I make Rice Krispies Treats. One day I decided to whip some up and didn't check to see how much cereal was in the Rice Krispies Box. I discovered too late that it was 1/2 the called for amount. What to do? What to do? I decided for better or worse to add Corn Flakes...
They were a hit! The chief and the littles liked them even better! So now, we always make Rice Krispies Treats with Corn Flakes.
In a large microwave safe bowl, heat butter and marshmallows on high for 2 minutes. Stir. Heat 1 minute. Stir until smooth. Add cereal. Stir until well coated. Using buttered spatula press mixture evenly into 13x9 pan coated with cooking spray. When cool, cut into squares, and enjoy!
Optional: Add 3/4 cup peanutbutter to the butter and marshmallows.
