What else can a Trifle Bowl be used for besides desserts?

The Trifle Bowl will hold a dozen homemade moist bran muffins and the lid keeps them nice and fresh. Not to mention it looks pretty too! :thumbup:

care to share the recipe? always looking for more fiber ;-)

What a great idea!

Susan, I have some GREAT high fibre recipes I'll post. (My twins have been chronically constipated since 9 wks of age, so fibre is constantly being sneaked into their food).

The first two recipes are some that I have made for my kids & they LOVED them. (Especially the first one.)
