My son's class had a potluck dinner tonight -- so I made this chicken w/yellow rice dish and served it in my lg dots SA bowl.
Then the trifle...I wanted to save $$ and use some stuff I had on hand...so here's what I did:
1 angel food cake from bakery ($2.69)
1 small tub lite cool whip
1 small container "cream cheese fruit dip" from produce dept
1 container strawberries
sugar
1T strawberry preserves
Cube cake
Mix preserves with fruit dip. Add 2-3 heaping spoons of cool whip and fold together
Slice strawberries and toss with 3-4T of sugar...let sit for a while til the sugar dissolves and creates a syrup.
Layer 1/2 the cake cubes...then 1/2 the strawberries & syrup, then all of the fruit dip/preserves/coolwhip mixture...more cake, more strawberries - and top with cool whip and a fanned strawberry.
It was a HUGE hit and I may have sold a Trifle Bowl!!
