SRC - Stawberry Cheesecake Parfait
Time for another Secret Recipe Club reveal. This month I was assigned the blog This Mama Cooks. I spent a lot of time looking at all the recipes on this blog, there were so many I wanted to try. At first I was set on making the plantain chips as I have been kind of obsessed with plantain chips recently, then I realised it would be better to make something that Randal would also try so I moved on to the tandoori chicken as we both love indian food, but as soon as I found the strawberry cheesecake parfaits I was sold, it looked so good and I knew we both would love it, I didn't make them as healthy as the original recipe though I must admit as the husband only likes full fat dairy products, so we went with regular cream cheese and vanilla yogurt which is why mine looks a little more yellow, and Randal made some whipped cream in place of the cool whip.
1 lb strawberries, sliced
1 tbsp sugar
8 oz cream cheese
1/2 cup vanilla yogurt
1/2 cup icing sugar
1 tsp almond extract
1 cup whipped cream
2/3 cup graham cracker crumbs
Place the strawberries and the one tablespoon of sugar n a bowl, mix and set aside.
In a large bowl beat the cream cheese, yogurt, icing sugar and almond extract until smooth. Fold in the whipped cream.
To assemble, layer the strawberries, graham cracker crumbs and cream cheese mixture and repeat the layers.

SRC - Fruit Salad with Honey-Lime and Mint Syrup
Time for another Secret Recipe Club reveal. This month I was assigned the blog A Spoonful of Thyme. I have been really neglecting my blog lately, which leads to the conclusion that I haven't been cooking much and that is unfortunately true. I am just so tired at the end of a 12 or 14 hour daycare day that we have been eating a lot of simple meals, however this Fruit Salad recipe immediately jumped out at me because the daycare kids love fruit, we go through so many berries these days it is crazy! and it looked so cool and refreshing which is perfect for the hot weather here in Texas and it was something that I could easily make and I knew that we could all enjoy it.
The salad is easily customisable, I am not a big melon fan so although the original recipe had 3 kinds of melon in it I left out the honeydew, I had planned to add either raspberries or blackberries but I forgot to pick some up, so next time I make this fruit salad I will try it with those.
Syrup:
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup lime juice
1/4 cup fresh mint, chopped
Fruit Salad:
1 lb strawberries, hulled and cut in half
1 cup red grapes
2 cups watermelon, cubed
2 cups cantaloupe, cubed
1 cup fresh pineapple, sliced
4 kiwis, peeled and diced
To make the syrup, mix the honey lime and mint together in a small bowl.
Add all the fruit to a large bowl and pour over the syrup and toss to combine everything together. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes before serving.
