I loved the idea of mixing the whipped cream with lemon yogurt...how wonderfully refreshing! I used blueberries, strawberries, kiwi and bananas for the fruit. At Wal-Mart, I found some "mini" trifle bowls for $1.79 each, so each of my six guests had their own trifle bowl!!! It was wonderful. Thanks for the summer recipe!

Sharlene, you've went and done it again! I served this at a family gathering and they loved it. WE LOVE YOU SPAGHETTI, so when I had the opportunity to try this I jumped on it. Sorry the review came a little late but we did enjoy it! I am making it again this weekend! 5 thumbs up girl!
