Trifles are such fun! So many variations, so many ways to make them look pretty--a wonderful chance to get creative. My sister wants to substitute gingerbread cake for the vanilla next year. Sounds yummy!
Blue Ribbon Recipe
What a pretty and tasty addition to your holiday table! Eggnog is a staple for my holiday gatherings and adding it to the pudding mix is so tasty. And the fresh cranberry sauce to the mix gives this recipe that holiday feel. Your family will love the creamy fresh taste of this trifle.
