Strawberry cheesecake with lots of whipped cream and strawberries on top is one of my favorite summer desserts ever. 

And not just because I love heavenly creamy cheesecake with my coffee (believe me, it is a yummy combination!!)

My love for all things strawberries comes from a sweet memory I have of my youngest son eating strawberry pie as fast as he could back when he was a little guy. He was six and we were at a 4th of July celebration at the park.

He was so excited when he got to be in the pie-eating contest!! He didn't win, but he sure had a fun time trying to eat that strawberry cheesecake pie as fast as he could. I have the sweetest memories of that day and of my son's cute face covered in strawberries and tons of whipped cream, smiling from ear to ear.

So yea, ever since that summer I have had an extra love for strawberry cheesecake desserts (with whipped cream, of course!!). 

Baked and no bake cheesecakes both taste delicious. 

The main difference between the two is that baked cheesecake uses eggs in the recipe, while no bake cheesecake does not use eggs (because the eggs will not get cooked and would be raw.)

The eggs help give a baked cheesecake a firmer texture and a baked cheesecake will have a different taste than a no-bake cheesecake without eggs. Either way, you decide to make your cheesecake, they are both delicious, so no worries.

But cool creamy no-bake cheesecake desserts make perfect summer desserts that do not have to bake in a hot oven. And who really wants to turn on the oven on a warm summer day?

Homemade no bake cheesecake needs to be refrigerated for at least 6-8 hours to get firm. And it is best if you can keep your cheesecake in the fridge overnight for it to get firm. You want your no bake cheesecake to be firm and easy to slice. 

If your cheesecake is not coming out firm enough after being in the fridge overnight, you can put your cheesecake in the freezer to help it set.

Some recipes for no bake cheesecake use heavy whipped cream to get a firm texture, while other recipes for no bake cheesecake use Cool Whip or sweetened condensed milk to add firmness.

For me, I like to use cream cheese (not the low-fat kind though, you need full fat cream cheese to help your cheesecake have a creamy firm texture) and Cool Whip because it gives the cheesecake a smooth creamy filling that is firm so it slices cleanly when you serve it)

And many delicious no bake strawberry cheesecake recipes use Jello because the gelatin can help a runny cheesecake firm up quickly and can give extra flavor to your cheesecake.

These easy no bake strawberry cheesecake recipes make perfect no bake summer desserts that are made with a few simple ingredients. But you will find that some use different ingredients than others.

So go ahead and make all of them and decide for yourself which recipe your family loves the most!

Healthy Vegetarian Dinners Picky Kids Will Actually Try

Trying to figure out what to make for dinner that is kid-friendly and that a picky eater will eat is not an easy thing. 

And really, it seems like every family has at least one kid who is fussy about eating, right?

And then there are nights where you may want to make a quick meatless meal, for whatever reason. And yea, there is always spaghetti and grilled cheese sandwiches for dinner on those nights, but it can be fun to switch dinner up with recipes your family may not have tried yet. (and maybe win over a picky eater!)

If that is the case for you, then you might love some or all of these 5 easy vegetarian dinners for kids that are so good even picky eaters will love them (and so will the rest of your family!) 

Super quick and easy cheesy casserole kids will love, the best ever veggie burger recipe for summer grilling, and more tasty vegetarian dinners picky eaters will be tempted to try, which is a good thing, right?

Sticky Sesame Cauliflower Wings

Oh My Veggies

Tantalizing spicy vegetarian wings make a yummy tasty healthy meal for picky eaters (and of course, everyone else in the family will love them too)

First, though, let me say that cauliflower does not taste like chicken. Even if recipes tell you they do, they don't. Nope, cauliflower does not taste like chicken, not at all. 

But that is okay. Because vegan cauliflower wings are amazingly delicious and healthy and definitely worth trying.

And I really think you and your family (including picky eaters) will love this recipe for cauliflower wings 

I am pretty sure the whole family is going to love the amazing sauce in this recipe!!

And best of all, your heart will be happier and healthier because, unlike chicken wings, cauliflower is free of cholesterol and low in fat and saturated fat. It’s also packed with fiber and antioxidants, making it a powerful food for heart health.

Serve rice with cauliflower wings or even noodles - whichever side dish your kids love the most - and add a salad or veggie to make a healthy vegetarian dinner even fussy eaters will love.

Best Ever Veggie Burger For Summer Grilling

A Couple Cooks

One of the yummiest summer vegetarian meals to make are grilled veggie burgers. But, you have to have the right recipe with the right ingredients if you really want to know how to cook veggie burgers on the grill that everyone, even picky eaters, will love,love, love!! The right ingredients give veggie burgers the texture and mouth-watering flavors that summer barbeques are all about!!

So many veggie burgers seem to fall apart on the grill or come out tasting too dry or too mushy.  Neither is a good thing. 

And if you have a picky eater, a mushy falling apart burger is not going to be a hit.

We have used frozen veggie burgers to cook on the grill before because we just could not find the right recipe for a homemade veggie burger that wouldn't fall apart. But veggie burgers you buy at the store are processed burgers, even if they are meatless. And most are probably not as healthy as you might think.

The best veggie burgers for grilling are ones you make at home with healthy natural ingredients. And this favorite grillable veggie burger recipe is perfect for summer barbeques! If tastes amazing and stays together just like a real burger. 

Serve it to kids with their favorite burger toppings and even picky kids might think they are eating the real thing. They don't need to know they are eating veggies and other healthy stuff (unless you want to tell them).
