Salty, Sweet and Smocked!

Think ::

One of my favorite things about the 4th of July (other than hanging out with great friends) was rediscovering a jello salad I first had when I lived in North Dakota 19 years ago.  It is rasberry Jello and Pretzles.  I love the Salty and the Sweet and I always love "crunch" in any food I eat. 

So here is the receipe if you want to make it anytime soon.  It is a great Christmas Jello salad.

Heather's 4th of July Salad

2 1/2 cups crushed pretzels
3/4 cup melted butter
Sugar
1 (8oz) pkg cream cheese softened
2 cups whipped topping
1 (6oz) pkg raspberry Jell-O
2 (10oz) pkg frozen raspberries

Mix pretzels, butter and 2Tbs sugar.  Press into a 9x13 pan.  Bake at 375 for 10 minutes.  Cool Completely.  Combine cream cheese, whipped topping and 1 cup sugar in a bowl; blend well.  Spread over cooled pretzel crust.  Refrigerate for 4-6 hours or overnight.  Dissolve Jell-O in 2 cups boiling water, add berries; stir until berries separate and Jell-O is thickened.  Pour over cream cheese later and chill for 2-3 hours.

And I must give a shout out to my new Goodwill find plates.  They are 4 dessert plates all with different dessert excuses on them.  They are darling and may have to be highlighted again in future posts.

The other thing I love about the 4th is my littles in their smocked American Flag dresses.  This is their 4th year wearing them.  That is the beauty of a Bishop style smocked dress the fit forever.  When the three of them wear them it makes me giddy to have all girls and live in this wonderful country!

I am going to share with our Eavesdropper where I buy them.  It is one of my best kept secrets, that will no longer be a secret.  She is a seller on Ebay and her dresses are a bargain.  (am I really going to reveal my source.....hmmm)  Ok it is too good to hold in.  It is a store on Ebay called Carouselwear
Her service is great and she has sizes from 0 - 8/10.  When she first started her dresses came with slips and bows - but don't know if that is still the case. 

Hope you are getting a great tan at the Beach!
