An Amazing Ice Box Cake

The other week I had the most

incredible summer dessert!

A vegan ice box cake!

Assembly:

Graham Crackers,

Tru Whip (vegan whip cream, so good!)

Sliced Fresh Strawberries, layered.

Store in fridge until ready to serve.

So, so good!

I must make one myself this summer!

The rice-arugula with corn and cranberries salad I made was the main course for this 

simple summer dinner.

Also some cold chick peas, hummus with chick peas,

breads and veggies...

The pretty cut glass tray I served this on was

a great deal - FREE!

Never know what you will find at the side of the road...

with the dishwasher to sanitize things,

I got a really pretty tray!

And some cut up mango for an extra sweet taste!

Vegan cookies and chocolate for dessert! 

{Fast Friendly Food ~ vegan} : a hearty simple salad!

My friend Martha

posted (on FB) a salad that her sister Mary

made recently...

Ingredients she posted:

1 bag of arugula

1 cup of cooked quinoa

1 package frozen grilled corn

1 cup dried cranberries

1 cup chopped almonds

1 package of bruschetta sauce

Mary linked the video that she learned this from...

I watched it and thought this would be great to make!

Besides that, I have great confidence that whatever

Mary cooks or bakes I will LOVE!

I used basmati rice instead of quinoa. 

It turned out really well!

Mr. Husband, who prefers salt to sweet,

had some with potato chips and we all enjoyed it!

I am thinking of trying different twists with this salad,

such as including cooked cooled shrimp or canned clams

for fasting days!
