Summer Dessert Idea: Layered Strawberry Dessert

Summer is the perfect excuse for BBQ's and family parties.  Days are long and schedules are relaxed.  Families are traveling and the living is easy.  And there's always room for a little something sweet to finish off the night.

But if you're like me, you're craving something a little lighter than the typical chocolate cake or homemade pie.  This lightened dessert can be whipped together quickly and won't heat up your kitchen.  Plus, it has the sweet, sweet taste of summer.  A perfect addition to any evening.

Layered Strawberry Dessert

1 Sara Lee (or any brand) pound cake

2 small packages vanilla or lemon pudding

Fresh or pureed frozen strawberries

Cool Whip

So simple it's silly.

--Cube the pound cake and begin layering in 4 canning jars.

--Layer with prepared pudding, sliced strawberries, and cool whip.

--Continue layering, ending with a dollop of cool whip.

--Try to save some for everyone else!  :-)

Chicken Bacon Chopped Salad

Salads are a main staple in our house in the summer.  All the beautiful produce is in season, and there's so many options when it comes to creating a fresh salad.   We love how light a main dish salad is for dinner after a long day in the heat.

This particular salad combination was born out of our original salad recipe and some leftover bacon in the fridge.  The avocado provides a rich, yet tasty, treat while the beautiful tomatoes give a pop of color and flavor.  Enjoy!

Chicken Bacon Chopped Salad

4-5 chicken breasts (I pick 1med breast/person)

Salt and pepper

Salad mix

8-10 strips bacon

2 avocado

2 tomatoes

Feta

Green onions (optional)

Dressing of choice

1. Diced chicken and cook on the stove top, seasoning as desired.  I typically use salt and pepper, but is also good seasoned with Italian mix or basil.

2. While chicken is cooking, cook bacon strips and chop when fully cooked and cooled.

3. Chop avocado, tomatoes, green onion, and feta.  Layer all (with chicken and bacon) on a bed of salad mix and dress with your choice of salad dressing.  Serve immediately!

Enjoy!

Happy 4th of July
