Family Time and Cheesecake Shooters recipe

By Lorraine

We celebrated Valentine’s Day with family on Sunday.
Jamie and family came over and we picked up my mom.
An easy meal, I made hoagies, soup and Greek Panzanella Salad and of course, potato chips because, you can never have enough potato chips 😉

♥ sweet baby girl ♥

 Noah and Silas were thrilled to be outside playing hockey

Dear Keri and Mom-Mom

Caleb played hard then fell fast asleep after a messy skinned knee 🙁

 Cheesecake Shooters were a hit (recipe below)

a little love for everyone

even my blogging friends!

Cheesecake Shooters
from Souffle Bombay

8oz cream cheese, softened
16 oz sour cream
1 small box vanilla instant pudding
1/2 cup sugar, plus 1 TBS
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
1 can of cherry pie filling
1 pack (not box) of plain graham crackers
3 TBS melted butter

Optional: 2 1/2 ounce shooter cups with lids usually found at party stores or wholesale clubs.

In your mixing bowl combine the cream cheese and sour cream until blended. Pour in the pudding mix, sugar and vanilla and mix on medium for 3 minutes more. Place in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.

Crush the graham crackers in your food processor until just crumbs. Add in the butter and 1 TBS sugar and pulse until combined. Place in a small bowl and set aside.

In your blender or food processor blend/pulse the cherry pie filling until it become syrup (no chunks left). You can of course make your own syrup from strawberries, blueberries etc instead of the pie filling if you have the time. Set aside.

In the shooter cups, wine glasses or whatever you may be using, first spoon enough graham cracker mixture to cover the bottom. Then spoon or pipe in some cheesecake mixture, then spoon enough syrup in to cover the cheesecake mixture, then spoon or pipe in second layer of cheesecake mixture, then place a few drops of syrup on top and swirl around for a spiral design by using a wooden toothpick or skewer.

I got you to hold my hand
  I got you to understand
I got you to walk with me
  I got you to talk with me
I got you to kiss goodnight
I got you to hold me tight
I got you, I won’t let go
I got you to love me so
(lyrics by Sonny Bono) 

From Wikipedia:
“I Got You Babe” is a 1965 number-one hit single by American pop music duo Sonny & Cher.
Sonny Bono, a songwriter and record producer for Phil Spector, wrote the song for himself and his wife, Cher, late at night in their basement. Noted session drummer Hal Blaine performed the drums for the song. Bono was inspired to write the song to capitalize on the popularity of the term “babe,” as heard in Bob Dylan’s “It Ain’t Me Babe” which was a hit for The Turtles.
Upon recording and releasing the song, “I Got You Babe” became the duo’s biggest single, their signature song, and a defining recording of the early hippie countercultural movement. In August 1965, the single spent three weeks at the number-one spot on the Billboard Hot 100 and number nineteen on the R&B charts in the United States. The duo’s single also hit number one in the United Kingdom

    Love your celebration with the shooters. I'm going to low-carb them cause they look heavenly! Also, your jib-jab is adorable. My guy says John is a much better sport than he is!

    You have us giggling tonight! Love the video. As I was microwaving our romantic Valentine meal (HOTDOGS!) John turned on some Barry White music from the 70's. We got so tickled we could hardly eat!!!
    Beautiful photos of your Mom and Cambrie and you. I love all the photos of your sweet grandbabies and those cupcakes and shooters sound delicious.
