I have a very talented little boy. Today is the second time that he has peed on me with his diaper on. Talk about a straight shooter! So, he had the fun of going through the grocery store in only his diaper and shirt (which magically were not wet at all), while his mother tried to cover him with his blanket so that no one would call child services for bringing a baby out it the snowy weather with merely a diaper, and he was giggling the whole way. Yes, it is snowy today. It is May long weekend in western Canada after all. It should really be no surprise as it seems to be a tradition. Yesterday I got a sunburn and today I had to bundle up to head into the great white world to go shopping with my mother and my (then fully clothed) son.

It has been so much fun being able to get together with my family at a “moments” notice. The other night we went to Nathanael and Brandy’s for supper. They made us a wonderful meal of Hamburgers and Pasta salad. And, for desert, Brandy made her light, luscious  and Dreamy Sour Cherry Cheesecake. It is not overly sweet, as a lot cheesecakes seem to be, and has a hint of tartness from the cream cheese and cherries. In the words of my nephew Joey, “Mmmm Mommy, this cake is good.”

Dreamy Sour Cherry Cheesecake

recipe from Brandy Werdal

• 2- 9 inch graham cracker pie crusts
• 2- 250g tubs cream cheese spread
• 2 cups whipping cream
• 2 cups icing sugar
• 2 tsp. vanilla
• 1 can cherry pie filling

1. Put cream cheese spread in large bowl. Whip with electric mixer until soft. Continue whipping as you add the cream then the icing sugar and vanilla. Whip until soft peeks form.
2. Pour equally into crusts. Top with cherry pie filling. Refrigerate until serving.

Serves: 12

* If you prefer you can make your own graham cracker crust and make it all in a 9×13 pan. To make your own crust mix together 2 cups of Graham Cracker Crumbs and 1/3 cup melted butter, press into the bottom of the pan and refrigerate while you make the rest of the filling.

* This recipe can be easily halved to make 1 pie.
