Red, White, and Blueberry Salad

Here's a recipe for a good summer dessert that I came up with a few days after July 4th. All you need are raspberries and strawberries for the 'red,' Cool Whip for the 'white,' blueberries, and a container to put them in. The amount of each ingredient is totally up to you. I actually didn't need this much raspberries.

 

Start off with a thin layer of Cool Whip on the bottom of the container. Next, add a layer of strawberries. Once you have enough for that layer, add another thin layer of Cool Whip.

 

Next, add a layer of blueberries and cover them with another thin layer of Cool Whip.

 

Add another layer of strawberries followed by another thin layer of Cool Whip. Finally decorate the top with blueberries and raspberries any way you like.

One last thing, don't forget to enjoy with others. Serves 6-8.

Medium Steak Rub

Makes enough for 4 to 8 steaks.

Ingredients:
2 Tsp Brown Sugar
1/2 tsp Basil
1/2 tsp Oregano
1/2 tsp Rosemary
1/2 tsp Savory
1/4 tsp Freshly Ground Black Pepper
1/4 tsp Lemon Pepper
1/4 tsp Paprika
A dash of Cayenne Pepper
A dash of Chile Pepper

Directions: Using a mortar and pestle, grind all of the ingredients together. The brown sugar helps to keep the meat moist even if the outside gets a little burnt. This recipe is also good for sprinkling over steak that is cooked on a cast iron pan.

• You can make a mild steak rub by taking out the cayenne and chile pepper, and using only a dash of Paprika. 

• You can make a hot steak rub by increasing the amount of cayenne and chile pepper

A dash is roughly 1/8 tsp
