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…

A new way to sundae
Confession time…I never once had a traditional strawberry shortcake until I was in my 20’s. Growing up my mom and grandmothers made their own version of “shortcake” with pie crust. Yep you read that right…pie crust. It is all about the crust My dad’s most favorite dessert is crust and strawberries. It is really as simple as it sounds….it is pie crust topped with chopped strawberries. The key is the super flaky and very tender pie crust, and how we cut it. Trust me this will change how you think about pie crust! Double duty crust recipe My MeeMaw and Mom have been using this recipe for both these…

Triple the Berries…Triple the Yummy
I cannot get over all the beautiful berries that bursting at my local grocery store and farmers market. It seems everytime I go to the store I cannot help but buy several…they just look that good. What to do with all these berries? As much as I can’t resist the berries I now have to figure out what to do with all of them. First I made my Berry Smoothie, and then I put some on ice cream. Next I made my Berry Tart and then I just ate them on their own. I used a lot of them but there was still some left…so what could I do next?…
