We went to a Christmas in July Party on the weekend, which is an annual tradition for one of our friends. Our friend goes all out, decorating her entire house (i'm talking large inflatable snow globe out front, Santa flag flying and of course a tree and lights). The best part of the evening was when a little boy walking by with his mom and dad exclaimed "Mommy, why are they pretending it's Christmas?"
I was one of many on dessert duty, and went with a very simple cherry cheesecake. This is my grandmother's recipe and when I say simple...I mean simple. It's not officially no bake because you have to to bake the crust, but it's pretty darn close.
