I love having visitors on my blog. Today I am pleased to have Bella of Bella Before and After. She is sharing a delicious recipe for an English Trifle. I have never attempted a trifle, but they are sure to impress any holiday guests. She has been kind enough to share this family recipe, and take us through it step by step. Tutorials are sure a lot of work, and I really appreciate her kindness. She has a fantastic blog of her own. She is always working on a new and impressive project. In addition to her great creative talent, she is a sweetheart. I always look forward to hearing from her. Here's Bella.
Hey everyone, today Tricia is hanging out at my place Bella Before and After sharing an awesome simple sewing tutorial, just perfect for the holidays. I love Tricia's sewing tutorials so much, because they are simple, and easy to follow, and so very cute. I love her style, and visit her often, and I know you love her too.
Oh man, am I excited to be GUEST posting on this awesome blog.
Thanks Tricia for giving me the opportunity.
Well guys my name is Bella, and my blog is called
How very original right? The reason I picked this for my blog name is simply because the kinds of projects I like to make usually involve an ugly before, and a better after, lol. My favorite kind of crafts are the ones
I can do for free, or make for really cheap. I really hate spending money on new things, and get much more satisfaction from saving something that would otherwise go to waste.
I also LOVE to cook, and do it every single day, he he. For the moment, this seems to be what I do most often, and I love anything Indian, Romanian, Mexican. What a combo right?
I am also on a mission to get in shape, be healthy, get organized, and have a clean house, for more than a minute. I blog about all these things, and more, and always have some challenge set up for myself.
Please come by every Tuesday for my weekly party **Amaze me August** and keep on coming, this party stays open all week until the next one starts. I've had a lot of fun, hosting this party, and hope that you will join us, and share your creations too.
Today I am sharing a quick recipe for an English Trifle. I grew up around cakes, and pastries my whole life. My mom has been doing this for over 35 years. Way back in the day, when I was a little girl, my mom worked at a German Bakery in California, and they used to make this Trifle every Christmas. While this dessert is English, apparantly the Germans, Romanians, and Americans all like it too, lol.
I certainly am not known for following rules, or recipes, and of course this is my very own creation. My mom would be horrified, but here goes.
This recipe can double as two, I am using one of my favortie cakes from childhood (grandmas cake) as the sponge cake, instead of a regular sponge cake. My version has sour cherries in it, and it's so dang good.
Then to cut back on time spent in the kitchen, and to make it easy for you to do at home, I used simple jello vanilla pudding (not instant) instead of making a real custard, like this recipe calls for.
Alrighty then let the pictures begin!!
