"Happy 4th of July"

This is a great recipe that I found many years ago in
the Family Circle magazine...Happy celebrating!

This bowl is called a Trifle bowl and you can find it at
Kmart, Walmart, or Target for around $10-12 (when on
sale) It has proven to be one of my favorite display bowls....

4th of July Dessert
4 cups water
1 pkg. (8oz.) Blue Flavor Jello
1 pkg. (8oz.) Red Flavor Jello
2 cups cold water
1/2 loaf pound cake or angel food cake
1 tub (8oz.) Cool Whip - thawed
3 med. bananas

Stir 2 c. boiling water into each flavor of gelatin
in separate bowls for 2 min. until dissolved.
Stir 1 c. cold water into each bowl
Pour into separate 13 x 9" pans. Refrigerate 3 hrs.
or until firm. Cut each pan into 1/2" cubes.

Cut bananas into slices. Place Blue jello cubes into
trifle bowl, layer cake cubes, put 1/2 of the Cool whip
& bananas in bowl. Cover with Red jello cubes. Garnish
with remaining Cool whip & banana slices.
Refrigerate at least 1 hr. or until set (refrigerate
any leftover dessert)

(makes 12-15 servings)

(For low cal. substitute SugarFree jello, Lite cool whip,
Angelfood cake)
