red, white and blue

My assignment was to bring dessert and roasted red potato salad to a 3rd of July picnic. I wanted a patriotic-looking dessert. That's where the "wonders of blogging" comes in. Earlier this week I saw a wonderful dessert on Leann's blog, The Old Parsonage. I realized, as she indicated, that this could be adapted to make it even more colorful. So I made it and it worked beautifully! In fact, I'm making it for our bookclub brunch this week!  I changed it by simply using strawberry pie filling and tossing some fresh blueberries here and there. (Even though the frosting made it sweet enough for me, the Gardener, being a man, thought ice cream or at least whip cream or cool whip would have made a nice addition. Doesn't that sound like a man?)  Check out the recipe here. Thanks, Leann!
