Ingredients:

1-1/2 cups cold fat-free milk

1 package instant vanilla pudding mix

1 cup (8 ounces) fat-free vanilla yogurt

6 ounces reduced-fat cream cheese, cubed

1/2 cup reduced-fat sour cream

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1 carton reduced-fat whipped topping, thawed,  

1 prepared angel food cake cut into 1-inch cubes 

1 pint each blackberries, raspberries, blueberries

  

Directions: In a small bowl, whisk the milk and pudding mix for 2 minutes. Let stand for 2 minutes or until soft-set. In a large bowl, beat the yogurt, cream cheese, sour cream and vanilla until smooth. Fold in pudding mixture and 1 cup whipped topping. Place a third of the cake cubes in a 4-qt. trifle bowl. Top with a third of the pudding mixture, a third of the berries and half of the remaining whipped topping. Repeat layers once. Top with remaining cake, pudding and berries. Serve immediately or refrigerate. 

Once you have made a trifle, you will appreciate their ease and versatility. You can use different kinds of fruit and cake and try different flavors in the creamy layers. All you need is a deep glass bowl to show off the layers and then, get creative! In the winter, I do a trifle with chocolate cake and pudding and sour cherries for the holidays.

This recipe was a successful merging of many recipes and techniques, in an effort to create a delicious seasonal but light sauce for bread pudding. It would also be great on cheesecake, ice cream, paired with chocolate or, dare we suggest it, drizzled on your morning oatmeal.  For a more decadent, but not so light sauce, replace the evaporated milk with heavy cream.

As kids, we begged my Grandma Becky to make Chocolate Ice Box Cake when we came to visit.  I was stunned to find out how easy it was to make. This recipe keeps the simplicity, but brings a yummy fall spin.  Kids will love helping you make it, too!

Carrot Souffle 10/28/2010
 
Picture
Because this dish contains no beaten egg whites, it is not a true soufflé The name, Carrot Soufflé, is derived from its light airy texture. Similar in color and flavor to sweet potato casserole, it pairs well with ham or turkey.

Yield: 8 servings (serving size: 1/2 cup)

Grammy Apple Pie 09/09/2010
 
I come from a pie family, fruit pie to be specific. And while peach is my absolute favorite, I firmly believe that apple pie is the ultimate comfort food. But it has to be my Grammy's apple pie... homemade crust, loads of fresh, tender apples and cinnamon, but no other spices. Shortly before she passed away, I spent a weekend with her, practicing my pie making skills to ensure the tradition would not be lost (nevermind that I'd been baking with her since I was three). After making, mixing and rolling out 50 crusts, she decided I was a master. Years later I still make pie the way my Grammy taught me, and it's just as good as I remember
