4th of July Recipe Ideas – Strawberry and Blueberry Trifle

This strawberry and blueberry trifle dessert was hands down the easiest dessert recipe I’ve made in a long, long time.  With all the fresh berries available in the stores, roadside stands and our gardens this time of year, it’s the perfect dish to bring along to a potluck or to a friends house.

Umm did I mention it was super easy to make? 😉
