Are you familiar with the classic strawberry pretzel salad?  The one made with a crushed pretzel crust, layered with a sweetened cream cheese mixture, and then strawberries and Jell-o?

It's a strange sounding combination, but believe me ... it's so good.  But when I first encountered that "salad" recipe a few years back, I must admit I was skeptical.  One bite though, and my skepticism was wiped away.

When my Mom was growing up, she said not a day went by that my grandmother didn't serve dessert after dinner.

My grandmother was always baking cakes, or her classic peanut butter cookies, or other sweet treats like my Mom's childhood favorite old-fashioned donuts.  And no dinner was complete without serving up one of these sweets to end the meal.

It's a dessert philosophy my Mom carried forward, as well.  

Though Mom did back off a little bit, and we didn't necessarily have dessert every  night ... There was a night off every now and then.  Probably needless to say, because of our family's tradition of dessert, we all have developed quite a sweet tooth.

Since us kids have moved out of the house and Mom doesn't really want to bake desserts all the time for her and my Dad, Mom has created a new dessert philosophy for herself.
