*I love cheesecake and this is a quick, no fuss recipe!  When I had my first baby and my mom was staying with us helping me out, she made this yummy dessert.  It has been one of my favorites since.

*I really like homemade graham cracker crusts.  Here is the recipe I use for the crust.

GRAHAM CRACKER CRUST

1 package graham crackers finely crushes

1/4 cup sugar

3-4 Tbls butter or margarine melted

Stir together graham crackers and sugar.  Mix in melted butter completely. Press into a pie tin going up the sides too.  Bake at 300 degrees for 5-8 minutes.  Let cool before filling it.

Fruit Dip

1 (7 oz) container of Marshmallow Creme

1 (8 oz) container of Strawberry Cream Cheese

Mix Marshmallow Creme and Cream Cheese together in a bowl.  Stir well and serve with your favorite fruit.

So quick and easy and YUMMY!  It goes well with Strawberries, Apples, Bananas, Pears, Pineapple.  I'm sure it is great with many other fruits.  These are just the few I have had with it.  

Strawberry Yogurt Salad

1 Large Container Strawberry Yogurt
1 Large Conatiner of Cool Whip
2 Small boxes of Coconut Cream Pudding (Instant)
2 lbs Strawberries

(Sorry I don't know the exact measurement of the containers.  Nest time I am at the grocery store I will check so you know for sure what size they are.  Other wise,  They are the Large Containers!)
Mix Yogurt and and pudding until well blended then fold in cool whip.  Wash strawberries and cut them in the desired size you would like. (I quarterd most of mine then sliced the rest to put on top.)  Fold  in strawberries.  Let chill in fridge for a few hours and serve.

**Very Easy salad.  The kids loved it and loved helping to make.  I got this recipe from my mom.  It is the one that I made for Thanksgiving.  It goes great with most anything.  I think it could be considered a dessert too.  Maybe add a graham cracker crust.  Hmmm, I might have to try that.
