Cherry Delight

This no-bake dessert is so easy to throw together and can feed a crowd! It's truly a delight

I love no-bake desserts that mimic cheesecake and I love any time I can get a cherry recipe because I don't have cherries enough. I think on the rare occasion I do, it's atop a sundae or milkshake. I don't think I have ever made anything from fresh cherries, so that's definitely on my foodie bucket list. But for now, I have to share this wonderful dessert that is no-bake and uses canned cherries. You can absolutely bake the crust for more sturdiness, but I actually like it better unbaked. This really reminds me of the Jell-O cherry cheesecake but a littler heartier.

Throwback Thursday #62

Today's throwbacks are both sweet. First up is a sweet breakfast recipe. These CINNAMON ROLL WAFFLES are kind of like those cinnamon roll pancakes that have been viral for years. Except less mess because you making the swirl separate and serve it as a topping. I personally am super biased and love a good homemade waffle, so I think these waffles are supreme!

The second recipe is a dessert that although is more of a wintertime dessert is one my husband would happily eat any day of the year. This PECAN PIE CHEESECAKE is the best of two desserts put together. The brown sugar cheesecake is brilliant on its own, but the pecan pie filling really is a lovely partner and adds a wonderful crunch to this dessert. I highly suggest making it!

Coffeehouse Coffeecake Muffins

Coffeecake in muffin form - these buttery little "cakes" are perfect with a cup of coffee in the morning! Or afternoon!

I currently have a super picky 3 year old who is surviving solely on cheese and freeze-dried fruits. Occasionally, he will eat a cheese quesadilla or chicken or ham. If I'm really lucky, he'll eat pancakes or muffins. Mason LOVES these muffins and he ate most of the batch by himself this go-around. This recipe is not necessarily complicated, but you do move around some mixtures a little bit, so it's best to read the directions a couple times through before you start making it. The batter is also very thick, but don't worry, it's supposed to be that way. These muffins are buttery and full of lots of cinnamon sugar goodness with pecans all throughout them.

Cheesy Sausage Foil Packets

The perfect way to celebrate summer - by grilling fresh veggies with sausage!

I know what you may be thinking...where is the foil packet in my picture?! Well, I had a good foil packet picture in addition to the plated picture, but then *poof* I lost a ton of pictures when my computer crashed thanks to an operating system update. At some point, I will make this during the summer and get a foil packet picture. Regardless, it is such a GREAT one packet meal to throw on the grill and go. I find that I think some of the other bloggers may be cheating a little and broiling or searing some of their foil packets because I don't know how else you can get those crisp parts on things like the sausage or potatoes. So I threw my packets under the broiler (opened up) after grilling to get a little crunch! :)
