Peach and Blackberry Trifle

The base was just torn up yellow cake (I had a bunch of leftover cupcakes that I used).

The next layer was peaches, peeled and cut into bite size pieces. Be sure to cut the peaches over a bowl to catch the juices and sprinkle that over the cake too.

Next was a sprinkling of blackberries.

Then top everything with whipped cream. For every cup of cream I added 2 tablespoons of sugar and a half a teaspoon of vanilla. For the 9x13 pan I used about 3 cups of cream.

Once it's all assembled you can dig right in, but I think it's better if it has a couple of hours to chill in the fridge.

Marshmallow Brownies

Submitted by Julie Twitchell

This is a family favorite--plain or topped with marshmallows and frosting.  These were at the November pack meeting.

Cream together:

2/3 Cup shortening
2 Cup sugar
2 eggs
1/2 Cup evaporated milk(regular milk works, but not as rich)
1 tsp. vanilla
2 Cup flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
2/3 Cup cocoa

Mix together and pour into a 9 x 13 cake pan. Bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes. Add nuts if desired. If adding marshmallows, take out of the oven and sprinkle 1/2 pkg. mini marshmallows. Then top with your favorite chocolate frosting.

Homemade Gatorade

1 pkg. Koolaid or Flavoraid
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 tsp. Salt Balance (Morton's Salt Balance is available at Walmart on the spices isle)
2 quarts water

Mix all ingredients and stir until salt is dissolved. Chill for 1 hour. My favorite is Cherry Limeade.

Queso Dip

Submitted by Julie Twitchell

This was a huge hit at a recent family party. And we made a healthy version.

1 can Chili (I used a turkey)
1 8 oz. cream cheese ( I used a light cream cheese)

In a saucepan over medium heat, add ingredients and mix until cream cheese is melted. Or in a microwaveable bowl, melt cream cheese and chili together. Serve with chips.
