Cool Thanksgiving Pies

Growing up in a small town on the Big Island of Hawaii, Thanksgiving dessert consisted of traditional fruit pies and little more. Which is not to say that I don’t love fresh fruit pies, but when I moved to the “mainland” in the late 1980s to attend college I was introduced to a whole new Thanksgiving dessert option: Ice cream pie.

Did you know that June is National Ice Cream Month and that the third Sunday of the month, today, is National Ice Cream day? What a great excuse to eat some ice cream! My family loves ice cream and we can think of all sorts of ways to celebrate. Today we have plans to visit our neighborhood ice cream store after lunch. But we could also make homemade ice cream in our new freezer, or ice cream sodas. A few years ago some friends of ours had an ice cream party that I’ve always meant to copy. They asked everyone … Continue reading →

Strawberry Swirl Cheesecake

I saw this recipe in the coupon section of my newspaper recently. It’s easier than making a traditional cheesecake, and trust me, no one will mind that it’s rectangular instead of round.
