Easter is this Sunday. With the arrival of the hated Daylight Savings Time, days are getting longer and warmer and we’re all busy with family, friends, and our own stuff.

She stood there, hands fisted on her hips, chin jutting and everyone else ducking for cover. “Jeez,” she groused. “How hard is it to whisk a few ingredients up and dump them in a store-bought pie crust thingy. Wait. Do ground-up graham crackers count as pie crust? Never mind. It says it is on the package so…whatever. Wait a minute. This is a cheese cake. Wouldn’t that make it a cake crust? Do cakes have crusts? Whatever. Plus, I don’t have to bake it so it doesn’t get burned. Everyone frickin’ loves it. If they don’t, they know better than to come around and ask for a piece. And if I don’t have jelly beans, I use M&Ms or Hershey Kisses. Works just as good and nobody complains. If they do, they know to do it out of earshot.”

Oh, yum. I do loves me some cheesecake. But with the new eating healthy thing, it’s flat out. I’ll just sit here and look at the picture of it. K?
LOL, Hannah’s so much fun.
But if you use sugar substitute and low-fat/no-fat cream cheese and Cool Whip, it’s fairly healthy so you could occasionally indulge. 😉
And yes. Hannah is a hellava lot of fun! 😀
So tasty and yummy it is 🙂
Most definitely! 😀
