Pita Sandwiches, Simple Berry Trifle

Served for Staff Luncheon March 2012

Pita Sandwiches
I loved it when my mom would make these when I was a kid.  Simple and oh, so yummy, with that cream cheese/guacamole combo!

whole-grain pita bread
cold cuts (black forest ham and oven roasted turkey)
guacamole*
nuefchatel cheese
alfalfa sprouts
mustard

Cut pita circles in half.  Open the pocket and on the inside, spread guacamole on one side and nuefchatel cheese on the other.  Fill the pocket with a few slices of turkey and or ham, some mustard, and alfalfa sprouts. 

*I whip some up using mashed avocados with a squeeze of lime juice, lemon pepper, lawry's seasoning salt, tomato chunks and salt to taste

Served with kettle cooked potato chips.

Simple Berry Trifle
I did these individually, but you can assemble the whole thing in a trifle bowl.  It can be made ahead of time--just save the whipped cream and kiwi for the last minute.

Strawberries
Raspberries
Blueberries
Blackberries
Pound cake, cubed
Vanilla pudding
Whipped cream
Kiwis

Layer in individual dessert dishes:
Pound cake, pudding, berries.  Repeat.  Garnish with whipped cream and kiwi slices.
