A quick Hello and a yummy recipe!

Yes yes. I know, I've been neglecting my poor blog.  I have several "rough drafts" written to post one day.  Dealing with my health, emotions and big life changes....I guess I'm just not ready to share some of those things.  I will, one day soon....just not today.

Today, I will wish you all a Happy June! My my, time sure does fly by quickly, doesn't it?  Just can't believe it's June.  June 2015......wow! 

Today I will wish you all a good day.  A happy day filled with love and smiles.

And today, I will share one of my all time favorite summer time dessert recipes with you! 😀. Strawberry Pretzel Salad...I guess it doesn't have to be a summertime only recipe, but my memories are of summertime gatherings and events, when my Meme would make this.  I made it for the first time in YEARS over Memorial Day, it sure didn't last long at all!  We all love it!  Hope you will too!

Strawberry Pretzel Salad

First layer:

2 cups finely crushed pretzels

3/4 cup butter or margarine, melted

3 TBS sugar

Mix and press into bottom of 9 x 13 pan. Bake at 350 for 7 - 10 minutes.  Cool completely.

Second layer:

1-8 oz block of cream cheese, softened

1 cup sugar

9 oz Cool Whip, thawed

Mix cream cheese and sugar until smooth.  Stir in Cook Whip.  Spread over pretzel crust.  I refrigerate this for at least 20 minutes before completing next layer.

Third layer:

2 cups boiling water

1 pint frozen strawberries

1 large pk strawberry jello

Stir water and jello until jello dissolves.  Stir in strawberries.  Refrigerate until slightly thickened then pour over cream cheese layers.  Refrigerate until completely set.  Slice.  Serve.  ENJOY!
