Around the Dinner Table

After tonight, I just HAVE to share another recipe!

We had friends over for dinner (for the first time?) and LOVED it! We've been talking about doing this for the longest time. All of a sudden something clicked, and we finally put our words into action. We enjoyed ourselves so much we're already deciding who else we can invite to dinner!

Thanks, Mark, Lisa, Samuel, and Judah, for making it an enjoyable evening around the dinner table!

So, what was on the menu, you might ask...

... the previously mentioned Quiche. (It really is quite yummy! I also think it tastes better every time I make it.)
... peas and corn, Samuel's favorite vegetables.
... and Angel Food Strawberry Dessert! Yum! It's easy and delicious (and certain to send guests back for seconds or even thirds)!















 
Angel Food Strawberry Dessert

You will need:

1 package strawberry jello
1 c hot water
1/2 c cold water
1 1/2 pints drained strawberries
1/2 c (or less) sugar (only if using fresh strawberries)
1 pint whipping cream
angel food cake

You need to:

1. Make the jello and let partially set or thicken.
2. Add sugar to the strawberries and let it set for at least 30 min.
3. Break angel food cake into pieces in a 9 x 13 pan.
4. Mix jello, whipping cream, and strawberries.
5. Pour mixture over cake.
6. Enjoy! (I almost think it is tastier after cooling in the fridge for a bit.)

My grandmother brought this dessert to the Mother's Day meal at Mom and Dad's house in May. Of course I HAD to have the recipe. The first time I made it, I actually made the angel food cake myself, which was quite an ordeal. After learning that Grandma cheated and bought an angel food cake loaf from the bakery section at the grocery store, that's exactly what I did for tonight's dessert. Delicious! I definitely recommend letting someone else deal with the hassle of making that persnickety cake.
