Have a Fruity Fourth!

One of the best parts of summer, in my opinion, is the variety of fresh local fruit available. One easy way to take advantage of fresh, in season fruit is to incorporate them in your summer festivities.

What I love most about this cheesecake is that it's perfect for large gatherings... did you notice that the slices are pre-cut?? AND, it also gives you and your guests the perfect excuse to have more than one slice of cheesecake... of course you need to try it with strawberries and with blueberries! Think of it as the opportunity to get in all your fruit servings for the day... :-)

More posts later with other July 4th ideas!

A Little Update

I know I've been quiet in the blogosphere lately, so I apologize for that. Of course, the day job keeps me busy, so hopefully during some vacation time coming up I'll have the opportunity to put together some neat posts for you all!

In the meantime, if you have thoughts of posts you would like to see, please leave me a comment and I'll take them into consideration. Also, please enjoy the new look of the blog! I think the bright colors are fun for summertime, so go and be inspired! :-) Special thanks to Heather for pulling this design together for me.

Happy summer to everyone, although it's early... but who's complaining?
