Sweet Saturdays

       You can either take this post one of two ways. You can groan and say "Two food posts in one week?" or you can run to the pantry, make sure you have all the ingredients and then get baking! I personally suggest the second option. My mouth is watering and despite the fact I just had breakfast, my stomach is grumbling.
Now onward with the food post! Since these are "sweet" saturdays, how about some sweet recipes?
Since the 4th of July is next weekend, how about some red, white, and blue themed desserts?
You don't get a say in the matter.

• Red, White, and Blue Jello from About.com Kids' Parties

This looks so cool! I love jello! 

• Flag Cake from Food Network

Yum! All the fruit looks so good! You can find other versions here, here, and here

• Red, White, and Blue Trifle from Food Network

I don't really think you have to use a trifle pan for this. I'm thinking it would be fine in just about any container or pan. Still looks delicious and the directions are super simple! 

I think you could just go simple and make a red velvet cake, use vanilla frosting, and top it with strawberries or raspberries, and blueberries and cool whip. I think I might have to do just that. I seriously am having a baking urge! 

Tomorrow morning, bright and early, I get to enjoy a 17 hour car ride from Mississippi to Michigan with a 3 year old, 2 year old, and a 2 month old and stops every 2 hours so the baby can nurse. This car-ride is looking longer....and longer... and longer... oh boy. I'll be happy to get home.
