My Raspberry Lemon Trifle is packed with lemon and raspberry goodness that is perfect for your next get-together! Pretty enough to make a center piece…if you want 🙂

I love to make this Raspberry Lemon Trifle when fresh berries start to become available again! It looks so pretty in a trifle bowl just waiting to be dished up!

Serving this raspberry lemon treat in a trifle bowl is my first choice , but if you don’t have one a glass 13-in. x 9-in. dish will work just fine.

In my book a well done trifle is a work of art! So how do you make a well done trifle? So glad you asked. 🙂

Here’s the secret to a well done trifle – it works every time! Start with flavors that pair wonderfully together. Next you need to bring in a couple of different textures for maximum eating pleasure. Then there must be some kind of a wonderful creamy mixture that is welcoming and just sort of brings everything together.

Last but not least, the final touch should be a little something special that is finely chopped and sprinkled on top. So there you have it, how to make the perfect trifle!

Raspberry Lemon Trifle…enjoy!

Just look at those fresh raspberries! So fresh and so delicious, not to mention so pretty!

We’ve all heard it a million times – Goji Berries are a SUPER Food!

We see Goji berries popping up in more and more places, and we know they’re great for us, right?

But what about them is good for us?

They contain a lot of vitamin C, among other health benefits.

How have they been used throughout history?

They are native to Tibet and Inner Mongolia, these orange-red tangy berries have been used by Chinese herbalists for centuries to treat visual ailments and poor circulation and to help boost the immune system.

Scientific research has yet to support such claims, but we do know Goji berries are rich in plant-based antioxidants and compounds.

If you want a easy and delicious way to try Goji berries at a reasonable price, try these Brookside Dark Chocolate Goji berries. Dark chocolate is good for you, we hear it all the time. Here you get the best of both worlds!

MM TIP: As a mother who has a “picky eater” in the house I have to say this is a great way to get kids to try something new, that’s good for them. The size isn’t intimidating, they’re a little smaller than grapes. Most kids like chocolate, AND there’s a reasonable amount of chocolate on each Goji berry.

That means your kids are getting a little chocolate on their berry, instead of a little berry on their chocolate. 🙂
