What a weekend! 

Busy, crazy, and fun. Our life  is usually that way, even mundane things like grocery shopping are fun when you have the two cutest twin girls in the world, (I am a little biased ;))

So although I did not have time to write about it, I did get the chance to test a few recipes. (Heard no complaints from the husband about this either, as he is my biggest guinea pig ) A couple still need a little tweaking, but overall they were very tasty. Which is a good thing as I wanted to write about them this week. I am also going to remind myself to post photos, I do have them for every recipe, just new to this blogging thing and I forgot. 

So what to tell you about today? Well, I am waiting for a warmer day to write about the amazing fudg-cicles I made, so today I think I will tell you about a recipe I made for my Team Meeting last week. It was so amazing, easy, tasty, and DIFFERENT! I don't know about you but I get sick of bringing the same old thing to every party and get together, it was nice to find something a little different. I tried the recipe, tweaked it a little (Adding citrus, using vanilla bean and less fattening version of cream cheese, and something to dip in) and viola! A fun new summer recipe...

Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries with Sour Cream and Brown Sugar

Ingredients:
-1 lb large strawberries (you will definitely want to double this as they go fast!!)
-8 oz. cream cheese, softened (can use 1/3 less fat)
-3-4 tbsp powdered sugar (4 tbsp for a sweeter filling, and you can substitute with Splenda)
-2 tsp lime juice

-1 tsp vanilla extract (I used about 1/3 of a vanilla bean)
-graham cracker crumbs
I served this with sour cream and brown sugar for dipping, dip in sour
cream first then the brown sugar, DIVINE!

Directions:
1. Rinse strawberries and cut around the top of the strawberry. Remove
the top and clean out with a paring knife, if necessary (some may
already be hollow inside). Prep all strawberries and set aside.
2. In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla
until creamy. 

3. Add cream cheese mix to a piping bag or ziploc with the
corner snipped off. Fill strawberries with cheesecake mixture. Once
strawberries are filled, dip the top in graham cracker crumbs. 

If not serving immediately, refrigerate until ready. If trying the sour cream and brown

sugar, wait till you are ready to serve to put bowls of that out, and do not mix them,

as the brown sugar will dissolve. And trust me, I know it sounds like an odd combo, 

but just try it you won't be sorry!

Happy Cooking and God Bless!
