Despite your desire to be a powerful and independent woman who doesnt care about getting anyone’s approval, there are the occasional situations where you might feel the need to please. Maybe you’re meeting your boyfriends parents for the first time, or have been invited to your boss house for dinner. Either way, you want toimpress and you want to do it easily.

I’ve never liked cheesecake. I think its heavy, and the idea of eating baked cream cheese was always a little off to me. But this weekend Im leaving for a trip and I had strawberries and a lot of cream cheese in my fridge plus some graham crackers in my pantry. Seemed like a logical combination. So I dug up an old Comfort Home Cooking book and got started. I didnt bother blog hunting or finding a trendy way to make it. I just wanted something my grandma would have made. No skimping! And guess what? It turned out great!
