Thanks for stopping by ShortCakes-By Michelle. I have been wanting to start a blog forever and a day and have been trying to cut down on using facebook and wanted to share my creativity with family and friends who have decided not to join the crazy facebook addition. If you know me then you will know a few things about me:
1. I love to Bake and Craft
2. I have a big crazy family
3. I work more than 1 job
4. I also go to school part time
5. The combination of 2-5 makes me one crazy busy gal
So.......... I don't promise that I will post often but as often as I can.
Life is good, off to New York for a much needed Vacation this week with my one of my best friends-Candice. Grateful for a husband who lets me take some much needed time for me.
Leaving you with some delicious inspiration and a much loved easy as can be family recipe.
My Mom's No-Bake Cheese Cake
*1 pre or home made graham cracker crust
*1 8 oz package of cream cheese-softened
*1/2 cup sugar
*1tsp Vanilla
*1 small container of cool whip or 1/2 of a large container thawed in fridge-about 2 cups
*Fresh fruit of your choice chopped into small pieces (Blueberries, strawberries, huckleberries etc.) or 1/2 jar or can of prepared pie filling (I used homemade cherry pie filling in this photo)
**Also I always use light cream cheese and light cool whip and it tastes just the same!
Directions:
With an electric mixer beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add vanilla. With a spatula fold in the thawed cool whip (do not over mix!). If you are using fresh fruit fold in at this point. Pour into prepared graham cracker crust. If you are using prepared pie filling then spoon over the top. Re-fridgerate for at least 2 hours.....ENJOY!
