I call this easy red, white, and blue trifle an "assembly recipe," because very little cooking is involved. Fresh fruit, yogurt, and berry syrup are layered in a clear bowl for a beautiful presentation. Layer in as much fruit as your bowl will hold, for a refreshing and easy summer dessert.

Turkey Potato Casserole
This was made from Thanksgiving leftovers, and ingredients in my pantry. It's a family favorite and a hit at Pot lucks. With leftovers, it's a breeze, made from scratch ... it's work. Either way it's a hit and well worth the time. After a holiday meal half the work is done because you usually have the mashed potatoes, and turkey. When I make it from scratch, I usually use chicken rather than turkey. Prep times are from leftovers.
Sassy No-Sauce Naan Pizza
Simple ingredients; bold taste. Great for weeknight meals--only takes minutes and you can put it together with your kids. It's the closest thing to the pizza I ate in Italy.
Green Tomato Pie
This green tomato pie with sweetened green tomatoes in a flaky pie crust has a firm texture and tangy kick that tastes just like apples. Make people guess what it is! They will want another slice.
