Doug's Birthday with a Black Forest Trifle
Doug (above) is my father-in-law and we had a little birthday party for him. As usual I made the dessert (as I do for a lot of the family things because I love doing it). I asked him what his favorites were and this was tops on the list. Everyone else brought snacks and we just relaxed and enjoyed each others company.
Black Forest Trifle:
- 1 9x3 pan of brownies (I just used a box mix but I added chocolate chips)
- 1-2 loafs of chocolate cake (again a box mix)
- 1 tub of whip cream
- 1 box of chocolate pudding
- 1 can of cherry pie filling (I thought I grabbed that but I grabbed strawberry pie filling and to be honest I liked it better!)
Bake the brownie and the chocolate cake and let cool.
Make the pudding and let set
Then start layering to your hearts content!
Note: It would be good to add some chocolate shavings on the top but I didn't have any so brownie pieced played the part
My mother-in-law trying out Marshall's home made wine. It's getting better with each bottle we open! (We've waited about a month between each bottle to test it out)
I finally finished the wine I brought back from Hawaii, yum, I love a good sweet wine!
I'm dishing it all up. Wow, it was tasty, if I didn't have any self control I would have just kept eating it and eating it!

Raisin Bran Flaxseed Muffins
For some reason I have a lot of trouble with my digestion. I tried so many different things and it didn`t seem to get much better (unless I was taking so many vitamins that I didn`t have enough money to get groceries!) One of my good friends Sara told me I needed a lot more bran and flaxseed (she’s very smart with that sort of stuff! She gives great health advice). I searched for a good recipe that really gave me what I needed and ended up modifying one that I found and wow, does it work! They muffins are full of fiber and super healthy for you! I have one every morning for breakfast and they take me (energy wise) all the way till lunch!
1/2 cup Quick Oatmeal
1 cup Whole Wheat Flour
2 cup Oat Bran Flakes (you can find these in the baking section)
1/2 cup Honey
1 Egg
1 tsp. Salt
1/2 cup Flax Seeds
1 tsp. Baking Soda (dissolved in milk)
1 cup Milk
1 cup Raisins
1 cup Water
Boil raisins in water with honey for approximately 5 minutes; mix all other ingredients together. Add raisins and water to mixture, stir well and pour into greased muffin tin bake for 30 minutes at 350°F.
Makes 12 muffins.
Have any good ideas, or substitutes for this....share them, leave a comment, I’d love to hear from you!!
