I love long holiday weekends. I get to sleep late, catch up on some writing, and get creative in the kitchen. Sometimes I make something really fun for the blog, and then never get around to posting it. That’s exactly what happened with this fun dessert. I made it well in advance of July 4th, and then poof! Time flew by, and here I am sharing it to celebrate Labor Day! The Sunday Supper crew is sharing our favorite recipes for a Labor Day feast! As with any big meal, everyone knows there is always room for JELL-O. There’s no better way to top of your holiday eats, than with this super easy Red, White and Blue Jello Parfait.
I love the simplicity of JELL-O, and the homespun feel of desserts in jars. Simple layering can take the easiest treat to the next level, and really wow your guests. I’m not saying all guests are wowed by JELL-O, but my kids sure are!
This weekend we’ve already attended a birthday party, and bought new books at the used local bookstore. Today we’ll be heading over to the sprayground for some early family playtime. Next we will take a break for an afternoon picnic, and then finally wind down for a relaxing dinner, and family movie night! The best part is, after all that activity, we still have Monday to fit in more family fun, rest time, if I have my way.
Are you hungry and ready to get your Labor Day Feast on this week? The crew is sharing the most amazing recipes this week! I know I will be bookmarking a few for our own dinners this week. No need to save the recipes just for Labor Day! Head on over and check out all the delicious recipes listed below!

Fun treat for a true American summer holiday!
I gotta say, it’s tough to beat jello as a crowd pleaser! Your parfaits look amazing too

I am ALWAYS at the kiddie table eating the Jell-O!
I agree with Paula above, I haven’t made jello in so long . . . I need to make it again since it really helps my sweet cravings when I’m trying to take off some pounds! Love the colors to celebrate Labor Day and #SS!
Can’t go wrong with Jello and Cool Whip, in my book. Mmmm… craving it as I write! 🙂

Your parfaits knock me back to happy childhood memories visiting my mom in Cambridge, Massachusetts for summer vacations. Don’t think we made them quite as pretty as the ones you’ve made but they were tasty!
Enjoy your new books from the used bookstore =)
My kids and hubby would love these! Perfect for any patriotic holiday 🙂
Perfect festive parfait! And so simple too! Which means I can sleep in and relax on my day off. 🙂
