The 4th of July holiday is a time to celebrate with family, friends, and food. This easy-to-make Red, White and Blueberry Torte is a favorite festive summertime recipe of Nash Attorney, Demetra Geller. “I did not create this recipe, but I just love it. You are guaranteed to be a hit at your Independence Day celebration with this scrumptious desert,” she promises. This torte has it all. It is loaded with chocolate morsels, layered with whipped topping and garnished with tasty fresh fruit.
We at Nash Disability Law wish you a safe and fun 4th!
