Hi Mary, I always love your “round-up” posts as they give me a chance to visit all the wonderful ideas you share. I have made your berry caprese bruschetta and the berry skillet (both delicious!) and next I’m determined to make that beautiful angel food layered cake. Thanks for all the inspiration. I can’t believe Memorial Day is here either! Linda
Mary you certainly know how to do red white and blue! I have pinned several things to my Memorial Day weekend board, I especially want to make the Berry Layer Cake, it’s such a show stopper! Thank you for all the red white and blueberry ideas!

Yum, yum, yum!!! Red, White & Blue all the way!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I love when you give us a quick and easy reference guide for the upcoming holidays, Mary. The skillet berry cobbler and the individual trifles are calling my name. I did make an angel food cake (from a mix) the other day, and froze half of it to make something with. Now I have an idea!!
I have been swooning all the way down your post. I am hungry now! So pretty too.
I think I could eat the entire triffle.
Wish I was noshing on the watermelon and cheese platter while sipping a little something-something right now Mary! And I agree, how did we get to the middle of May already? Especially since it’s been so cool I still don’t even have the screens in my windows! Bet summer comes in like a lion this year:@)
Mary, wonderful recipes for Memorial Day! The skillet berry cobbler is a must try for me! Pam @ Everyday Living
