I’m sharing a Chocolate Cheesecake recipe I posted a few years ago. It’s a wonderful dessert for any occasion–a summer favorite.

The recipe card is difficult to read. I’ve typed it below.

Chocolate Cheesecake

       (1)  Mix together and press into a 9 x 13 pan. Bake 10 minutes at 350 degrees and cool.

        1 cup flour

        1 cup chopped nutmeats

        2 sticks softened margarine

 

      (2)  Mix and spread over cooled crust.

        1  8 oz. softened cream cheese

        1 cup cool whip

        1 cup powdered sugar

 

      (3)  Mix and spread over cream cheese mixture.

        1  3 oz. box instant vanilla pudding

        1  3 oz. box instant chocolate pudding

        3 cups milk

       Top with cool whip and shaved Hershey bars. Refrigerate.

      Enjoy!

This is a delicious Breakfast Bake and would be great for Father’s Day. I make it when I host Christmas morning brunch.

Recipe

Two 8 x 8 pans (lightly sprayed)

8 beaten eggs, add four cups milk

2 boxes (bags) salad croutons (one for each pan)

Divide egg mixture evenly and pour over croutons

Top with:  shredded cheese, chopped onions, mushrooms, and chopped green and red pepper

(you can tweak your toppings)

Cooked and crumbled bacon goes on last

Bake 350 degrees for 50 minutes or until knife comes out clean. Cool slightly before serving.

Happy Father’s Day!

With graduation parties in full swing, a bean salad is easy and delicious to serve. I tweak the original recipe. I might add red pepper or other fresh veggies that can be marinated. The picture above shows, black beans, kidney beans, great northern beans, green beans. red onion, green pepper, and celery.

Because of the salt content in the beans, I drain and rinse them.

I’ve used my Better Homes and Gardens Cookbook recipe for years and have included it for you. I didn’t have wax beans available. Substitutes are easy, and I always double or triple the recipe.

ENJOY!

Many students have already graduated. My grandson graduates from high school next week. I thought I’d share a book I’m including with his gift.

The Legend of the Three Trees is a board book I’ve had for many years. This one was published in 2001. I’m sure I read it to my grandchildren, nieces, and nephews when they were young. The book is also published in picture book form, but I’ve chosen the board book. It can be read in a short period of time. Aren’t young adults busy pecking away on their phones?

Yes, it’s an unusual gift, but a gift that illustrates how our dreams are often much smaller than the dreams God has for us.

I hope when my grandson has his own family, he’ll read The Legend of the Three Trees to his little ones. I have no doubt they’ll fall in love with it–just like I did.

Congratulations to all the 2022 graduates!

May God bless you.
