Tequila!

Well, actually there isn't any tequila in these but that is where the inspiration came from. When searching for ideas for Cinco de Mayo desserts I found pictures from Cinco de Mayo a couple years ago. These mini trifles have layers of lemon lime cake and whipped topping, tinted green with food coloring, and garnished with lime zest. The rim is coated in lime juice and dipped in sugar. From what I remember they were quite good and the only complaint was that the "shot" was not large enough.

S'mores 6 Ways

I guess I should have posted this during the summer when these were actually made, but the need of a warm fire on this cold night prompted me to post it now, so here are some ideas for "fireplace s'mores." At least I have this posted before the first snow.

First Post

Okay, I have no idea what I am doing but that is sort of how I do things. I start something and figure it out as I go and it usually ends up as something else entirely. I guess that is why I make so many trifles. Cases in point. (I promise to add the recipes to these in future posts) Most of these trifles started as a cake or bread recipe but somewhere along the way went horribly wrong and needed crumbling, pudding, whipped cream, etc. So this blog may not be a trifle, but in the end who knows what it will become.
