1 / 2 cup white sugar
1 (.25 ounce) envelope unflavored gelatin plain

2 (10.75 ounce) loaves angel food cake, sliced 1 inch thick
2 (8 ounce) tubs frozen whipped topping, thawed


DIRECTIONS
Mix half the strawberries, 1 / 2 cup sugar and 1 envelope of gelatin in a bowl.Set aside at room temperature to allow the juices to develop and the sugar and gelatin dissolve, about 15 minutes. Heat in microwave for 2 minutes at full power, or until the gelatin has dissolved. Stir to blend in gelatin and then mix in the remaining strawberries.
In another bowl, mash 1 cup of blue berries with back of fork. Stir 1 / 2 cup sugar and 1 envelope of gelatin.

We love making hamburgers on the grill on the traditional fourth. We make our hamburger meat hamburger (ground) and salsa. Add a jar of salsa for your meat, salt and pepper and a couple of eggs to bind. I sometimes add Italian bread crumbs if it seems liquidy. They cooked great and very tasty. Do not forget to place the buns on the grill for extra flavor too.

I tend to like also to fix the side that does not require refrigeration after serving. You know how you have to worry about mayo and others.

Salad Potato

I like this one:

2 pounds red potatoes
8 green onions, sliced thin
2 tablespoons Italian parsley, chopped
1 tsp tsp dill weed
1 / 2 teaspoon salt
1 / 4 teaspoon crushed pepper
3 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 / Wine 4 cup white
2 v. tsp garlic, minced
1 / 2 cup olive oil

Cut apples into quarters and steam for 15 minutes or until cooked but not mushy. Drain in a colander and rinse with cold water. When cool, cut the potatoes into cubes and transfer to large bowl.Add onions, parsley, dill, salt and pepper and stir to distribute. In a small bowl, whisk the vinegar, wine, garlic and olive oil. Pour over potatoes and stir well.

Serve immediately or refrigerate and serve later.


Spaghetti Salad

1 pounds thin spaghetti
1 LG. green pepper, diced
2 lg. tomatoes, diced
1 onion, diced
1 can pitted black olives, sliced
1 (18 ounces) Viva bottle Italian dressing
1 jar McCormick Salad Supreme seasoning (do not substitute this seasoning)

Cook spaghetti, drain well and rinse with cold water. Mix spaghetti and vegetables. Add olives and salad dressings.


The All American Trifle

The All American Trifle is a true red, white and blue dessert that everyone can enjoy. It is literally red, white and blue, and so it will brighten your table! Best of all though, it is really easy to do ... Perhaps the simplest of all the Fourth of July desserts and sweets there in practice.Even if you can not boil water without burning it, you can make ...

All American trifle!

4 cups boiling water
2 cups cold water
2 cups strawberries
1 cup raspberries
1 packet of red jelly (any flavor)
1 packet of blue gelatin (any flavor)
10.75 oz pound cake (frozen is fine as it is thawed)
8 oz whipped topping

Before you start preparing your All American Trifle, you must prepare gelatin. Prepare the two flavors in separate bowls and add 2 cups of boiling water to each.Stir well until all the gelatin is completely dissolved, then add a cup of cold water to each bowl to assist the tuning process. Place the bowl in the refrigerator for about 2 hours to ensure they are both together.

Now, cut the pound cake in half cubic inch rough, and chop all the strawberries in half. You should also cut the gelatin into half inch cubes.

Betty's 4th of July Strawberry-Blueberry Trifle Recipe

In this video, Betty demonstrates how to make a fresh strawberry/blueberry trifle--complete with pound cake, white chocolate pudding, and whipped ...



"Qu'ils mangent de la brioche."

No one minutes, I'll go relax with the latest issue of Coilhouse. But first! An update a few things about my last week.

My B-day party was fun and charming, although not everyone was able to do so because of the holidays, appointments or prior health problems, I have to talk to most people during some time, actually. I made the party (food, music, decoration, equipment) in a French theme, and goes fab! (A black beret = easy dress-up). I was inspired by the apple Black July 4th party a few years ago (love those cupcakes cool Americans!), But I could not pull it all off.

However, my homemade cakes were a great success! I do not really traditonal cake with whipped cream or pastries that the Dutch often trot at birthday parties, and I like cooking: there: chocolate pie and tarte tatin. Even better is that they were very easy to do! People have asked for recipes, so here they are:

4 1/2dl Whip cream slowly, with all low batter. You can add a little coffee liqueur or other alcoholic beverages, or a small espresso (instant coffee with the figures of water). Exit when it starts to become just a teensy bit steep.Now, slowly, carefully stir in half the melted chocolate, so it is a little airy. Then add the rest and combine in the same way. For / Pour mixture on top of crumbs in the box. Be creative with shaping the top. Then leave to set for about 4 or 5 hours in refrigerator. You can sprinkle a mixture of 2 tbsp tablespoons powdered sugar and 1 c. tablespoons cocoa cake, if desired.

I suppose you could use different cookies or slices of cake in the background, or use chocolate milk instead of plain. And you can use a microwave to melt the chocolate too (I did not). April 2004)

These sisters Tatin you knew how to cook!For this version, I used a homemade pastry dough instead of pastry.

Preheat oven to fan 200C/conventional 220C/gas 7. Peel two apples and cut into slices and arrange them as cleanly as possible in a baking dish with high edges. I used two of the big new crop, anyway, they should be strong enough and a small crane or it'l turn into mush. If you want (and I do), sprinkle with cinnamon. Melt 50g unsalted butter (or Bertolli, formerly known as Brio in my case) in a small skillet over medium heat, then add 100g of raw cane sugar (demerara? I do not know all the names in sugar different in English).While stirring from time to time, it must be transformed into a golden caramel in about 5 minutes. Let it cool, but it does not exits. Get the puff pastry from the freezer and drop it, if necessary, leaves little stick together. Pour the caramel over the apples, then place the pastry on top of the apples, tucking in the sides. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until the tart is a nice golden brown. Allow to cool for 5 minutes. Then place a large plate upside down on top of baking dish. Make sure you have a good grip on both and running quickly, then slowly remove the dish....
