Remember how this weeknight vegetarian series was, in large part, motivation for me to plan meals ahead of time? Well, I am nothing if not very on top of all the things, and thus waited until 45 minutes before guests … Read More
Oh, hello, Interworld! Nice to see you again after a gloriously unplugged week (glorious except for the 8 million emails to which I returned. that was not glorious.). And because everyone loves pictures of vacations you have not taken, behold … Read More
A mouthful, yes? But a delicious one, I assure you. Somehow the idea of a yogurt-basil dressing had cemented itself in my brain, but when I tried it, the dish just didn’t…pop. It tasted plenty basil-y on its own, but … Read More

This weekend, we headed out to Shenandoah National Park for a little camping night, a morning of hiking, and then down to Roanoke, VA. Camping with the smalls is always an adventure; so fun and lovely and cozy and yet … Read More
We love enchiladas over here. And they are a rather excellent way of using up large amounts of CSA veggies. And infinitely customizable (don’t like mushrooms? don’t use them. have some random hakurei turnips like I did? throw them in). … Read More
Having been a vegetarian my whole life, I’ve gotten my fair share of, “So… what do you eat? Lettuce?” (I generally want to respond with, “What do you eat? Flesh?” I am nothing if not terrifically mature.) As much as … Read More
On Thursday night, we were planning to go camping in the beautiful Shenandoah’s in honor of my birthday on Friday. Dan surprised me with a spot picked out months ago before it filled up right at the top of a … Read More
We went strawberry picking. Not that first time. Again. Because of course everyone needs to pick nearly 20 pounds of ripe and delicious strawberries over the course of a week and a half. Needless to say, I’m scrounging out all … Read More

I used to think I didn’t like fajitas. Not really sure why? I mean, lots of colorful veggies and tortillas and toppings? Not much to go wrong. I finally had them again a few months ago when we were in … Read More
Remember how this weeknight vegetarian series was, in large part, motivation for me to plan meals ahead of time? Well, I am nothing if not very on top of all the things, and thus waited until 45 minutes before guests were arriving for dessert to decide what to make. Gold star donations accepted.
Despite the rush, this was delicious. Cool and creamy and fresh and ready in time. There are not many other things to be asked from a dessert.
Strawberry filling
1 9-inch graham cracker crust, homemade or store bought*
1 pint fresh strawberries (I actually used ones that we’d picked and frozen – worked fine)
1/2 – 3/4 cup white sugar (depending on sweetness of berries)
3 T cornstarch
3/4 cup water
Topping
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup sour cream
1 t vanilla extract
1/2 cup heavy cream
*I’m usually finicky about doing things from scratch, but I feel like graham crackers are processed anyway, so I figure, might as well use a pre-made crust. Justification, I am its queen.
