Berry Swirl Cheesecake Bars
Cheesecake is always a good idea, but when you swirl it with berry jam… well thats just a whole new level of YUM! OH the Crust… One of my favorite parts of cheesecake is the crust. I am a sucker for a good graham cracker crust. There is just something so yummy about a buttery graham cracker crust. I know you can make it with other crusts but for me I am a graham cracker girl all the way. Cheesecake Time! In my opinion a good cheesecake is rich, creamy, a little tart and a little sweet. This one is all that and more because I used vanilla…

Not only is it super quick to make, but it is LOADED with strawberry goodness. I mean just look at all the strawberries!

Strawberry Cobbler
I found myself in quite the situation yesterday…there were a ton of strawberries in my refrigerator that I had to use.. I had planned on making a strawberry dessert for Easter, but due to some family stuff I didn’t get too. Now I had to figure out something yummy to make with them. Cobbler is was! Was craving cobbler… As the weather gets warmer, I do live in southeast Texas so we are warming up down here, all I want are fruit desserts and cobbler is always at the top of the list. Growing up peach cobbler or blackberry cobbler were my favorites but once when I was in college…
