We are grilling steaks, and having potato salad, maybe some watermelon and this Berry trifle for dessert. It is wonderful!
Ingredients
1 4-serving-size package instant vanilla pudding mix
2 cups milk
1 8-ounce package cream cheese, softened
1 6-ounce container vanilla yogurt
1 10.75-ounce frozen loaf pound cake, thawed and cubed (3/4-inch cubes)
6 cups strawberries, quartered
2 cups blueberries and/or raspberries
1 recipe Berry Sauce
Directions
1. Prepare pudding mix according to package directions using the milk; set aside. In a large mixing bowl beat cream cheese and yogurt with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth; stir in pudding.
2. To assemble trifle, in a 2-1/2- to 3-quart glass bowl layer one-third of the cake cubes, one-third of the pudding mixture, and one-third of the strawberries and blueberries. Repeat layers twice. Cover and chill 4 to 24 hours. Spoon Berry Sauce onto individual serving plates; top with trifle. Makes 8 to 10 servings.
3. Berry Sauce: In a blender or food processor combine 2 cups fresh or frozen (thawed) strawberries or raspberries, 2 to 3 tablespoons sugar, and 1 tablespoon raspberry liqueur, rum, or orange juice. Cover and blend or process until smooth. If desired, press sauce through a fine-mesh sieve to remove seeds. Cover and chill until serving time or up to 24 hours. Makes 1 cup.

I'm also doing ribs - pork baby back ribs:
Marinade the ribs in apple cider vinegar for an hour.
Dry the ribs well on paper towel then rub with (hehehehe my secret rub . . . I know some of the ingredients, but not all as I get part of it from a mix from a place on the internet):
Garlic powder
Onion powder
Black Pepper
Salt
A touch of Chili powder
A spoon full of "Timmie's Prime Rib Rub"
Mix and rub on the meat . . . just a light coating - let the meat rest with the rub on for 1/2 hour, then grill as low as possible (indirect heat) - about 250 degrees - for at least 4 hours - since I do this on a gas grill, I drizzle a combo (water, extra light olive oil, and touch of liquid smoke) on the ribs about once an hour.
The last 10 minutes of grilling, thinly brush the sauce of your choice (My choice is Famous Dave's devil's spit). Finish the 10 minutes, take the ribs off and let them rest for at least 15 minutes before eating . . . also have a bowl of "heated" sauce for those who want more sauce on their ribs . . . you don't want to put cold sauce on ribs!!!!
The best of all the worlds! You taste the meat, rub and sauce, with just the right "chewiness" to the meat . . . I'm getting hungry!!!!

I think we're leaning toward brats, cole slaw, roasted potatoes, and dessert....one of those strawberry/cream cheese mixtures over crushed pretzels.

We'll be taking our camper down to Southern Illinois. Whatever I cook will be cooked on the grill. My husband told me not to but any meat. We'll pick up most of our groceries in town near the campgrounds. I'm excited about this trip. We'll celebrate our 35th anniversary on the 25th.
