You know what they say...life is uncertain, eat dessert first.
This is all that's left of the dessert from the weekend so I thought I might as well have it for breakfast. Hey, there's fruit in this dessert!
Cherry Delight is the name of this quick and easy recipe. To make it, you will need a graham cracker crust, a can of cherry pie filling, an 8 ounce container of whipped topping, 8 ounces of cream cheese, and 2 cups of powdered sugar. Mix the cream cheese and powdered sugar until well blended, then fold in the whipped topping. Pour into the graham cracker crust and top with 1 can of cherry pie filling. Refrigerate a few hours before serving so the filling will firm up. That's it. Easy, delicious!
I'm still puttering around the house, trying to decide what to toss and what to keep and do some spring cleaning. It's been slow going as I had dizziness to contend with the last 2 weeks. It's nothing serious as I've had this for several years now, it's just that it always strikes at the worst times. Not that any time is a good time.
Our son was here for the weekend. It's always fun when we are all together. I can't wait until it's warmer weather and we can sit out on the patio. I've been thinking of ways to spruce up our outdoor room. I have a few ideas floating around. Now, I just have to double down on the inside and get it done. It won't be long now and I'll be able to work outside. Can't. Wait.
Until next time...
Dessert first, sounds yummy to me. Looks delicious, thanks for sharing the recipe.. Glad you had a nice visit with your son.. Have a happy day and week ahead!
ReplyDeleteMorning Cheryl, oh yummy, I would eat that for breakfast no problem.....Hope the dizziness goes away, hate that, Hugs Francine.
ReplyDeleteCheryl,
ReplyDeleteGrowing up Mom didn't care what we ate for breakfast as long as we ate something. Yes, Sister took that to heart with the occasional slice of ice cream cake to start her day. It was someone's birthday keep the celebration rolling!
I am not a fan of clutter, but still seem to collect more stuff than I can use.
Good luck with your cleaning and glad you got to spend the weekend with your son.
Sounds like a great recipe. YUMMY, for sure. Hope your dizziness goes away. Take care.
ReplyDeletea perfect breakfast, fruit and milk and bread.. sounds healthy to me.
ReplyDeletethe dizzy thing gets me once in a while and it is not fun... hope you get spring soon
I would love that dessert for breakfast every single day! LOL!
ReplyDeleteSorry about the dizziness. That kind of thing can really slow a person down. blessings ~ tanna
Hi Cheryl. Now that dessert looks yummy. Would have had breakfast and then coffee and that lovely gateau
ReplyDeleteGood Morning Cheryl, Your breakfast looks yummy. We all are probably guilty of eating dessert for breakfast. A belated Happy Birthday. I have been hit and miss lately with leaving comments. Keep hoping to have more time, but I don't think it is going to happen. It is so nice when family comes home. My oldest will be home this weekend. I can't wait to see him. We had snow Saturday night enough to make my car white. Have a great week. Hugs and Prayers from Your NW Missouri Friend.
ReplyDeleteGood Morning Cheryl! That looks very good right now!!!
ReplyDeletesorry about the vertigo! but love the looks of that dessert!
ReplyDeleteNow you're talking my language. Dessert for breakfast works for me.My grandmother was a wise woman,I'm sure, and she apparently always had dessert first,you know,just in case there was no room for it later.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like my kind of breakfast! Hope that the vertigo is gone...nothing much more miserable.
ReplyDeleteWhat time is breakfast?
ReplyDeletethat is something i have never done before. i will have to try it. sounds like a real treat. i have never had pizza for breakfast either. i guess i will have to break bad & just do it!! ( :
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for sharing your delicious looking dessert! I hope your dizziness is gone soon! Have a nice day! Twyla
ReplyDeleteOh what a way to start the day! That looks delicious! I like the pretty sky image, too. But looking up like that almost made ME dizzy! :)
ReplyDeleteHey, I'm all about having dessert for breakfast...or lunch...or dinner...whenver! It's all good! I have been known to eat some other strange things for breakfast too...like cold pizza for instance :) Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteLove the clouds in the sky. Sounds like you had a nice weekend, too. I sure need to do more cleaning and sorting. I can't eat sugar...boohoo! Sometimes I miss it but most of the time, I don't give it a thought. I quit eating sugar years ago. But I'm still sending you SWEET hugs!
ReplyDeleteHey, not only fruit but a smidgen of protein in that breakfast.
ReplyDeleteSorry you are feeling dizzy but good to hear it is nothing serious though it has to be annoying. My brother has that.
Oh now I want some for breakfast lunch and dinner:) my favourite.
ReplyDeleteI bought some paint today so we will see how this spring cleanup thing will progress for me I hope you have better luck all I can think of is what I am looking at right now:) Yummy. Hug B
Nothing wrong with dessert for breakfast one in awhile. I have had BPV (benign positional vertigo) for years. One attack, I literally had to crawl on the floor. It is not fun, and I am so sorry.
ReplyDeleteI am with you girl, I want to sit outside and enjoy the fresh air and the birds. Some times dessert is good for breakfast, oh yes. xoxo,Susie
ReplyDeleteI choose that "dessert first" too . . . I hope the dizzy is gone by porch/deck sitting time!
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me of what I always tell peeps, "can you imagine how many woman on the titanic skipped desert, because they were watching their figures. What a waste" I never skip desert, unless I'm too full and I also eat whatever I want for breakfast!!
ReplyDeleteDessert for breakfast works for me! I had leftover pie yesterday, it tasted even better than the night before. ~smile~
ReplyDeleteSorry you are having this dizziness, Cheryl, I will be praying for you.

My Mom used to make that recipe, and it was always on Sunday! Yummy! I hope the dizziness goes away, after all that spring cleaning isn't gonna get done by leprechauns right? Dang nabbit!
ReplyDeleteWhat, do you mean there are those out there that would NOT eat dessert first. My favorite choice would be cheesecake with cherries on top.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fine breakfast to me:)
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a perfect breakfast to me. Thanks also for the easy recipe; I will try it.
ReplyDeleteI do hope your dizziness goes a way quick.
I need to get into the spring cleaning but it hasn't happened yet I have an awful allergy cough this week; so I do need to dust good.
Blessings to you!
I am so sorry you are dealing with dizziness. That is such an awful feeling. I'm with you-eat dessert first and everything else will find its place (in your stomach). lol xo Diana
ReplyDeleteHi Cheryl!
ReplyDeleteMight as well enjoy life! When my dad was a little boy, his mother made apple pie for breakfast all the time, they ate it with milk or cream on it! I still, to this day, eat apple pie with milk on it - and I would definitely eat it for breakfast!
I hope you start feeling better, vertigo is no fun... :0(
We worked outside all day today - so much to do - problem is, we will pay for it tomorrow! Already have a sore back!
Get well soon!
Hugs,
Barb
P.S. Can't wait to try the recipe, sounds like a good one for Easter!
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a perfect breakfast to me! Yum!
ReplyDeletelooks like a perfect breakfast to me and that recipe is going in my file of easy peasy things to fix in a pinch.
ReplyDeleteSounds delicious!! I need to try that.
ReplyDeleteThis recipe sounds simple (which I always love) and delicious. Thanks for sharing it with us! I love this sort of thing for breakfast but for some reason PH thinks this sort of thing should only be for an evening desert. :) Silly man!
ReplyDeleteI hope you are feeling better, Cheryl! My daughter suffers from vertigo sometimes, and when she does she knows she is dehydrated and drinks a few glasses of water.
ReplyDeleteYour cherry delight looks delicious--my kind of breakfast any time ;)
I REALLY like having dessert for breakfast. So much less boring than a dry piece of toast, don't you think?
