I was really looking for a strawberry cheese cake recipe and was so happy when I found this one. So I bought the ingredients and planned to make this for a party. Unfortuately I was not able to follow the directions as all. The Shortcake layer lists 2 cups of strawberry ice cream topping, whipped cream and fresh strawberries. The directions only tell you what to do with 1/2 of the topping and of course, as is obvious, the whipped cream and fresh strawberries are NOT part of the shortcake layer. The recipe directs that you place in a 13x13x9 pan what ever that might be. What a disappointment.

Most of my recipes are dairy free since I discovered many years ago that I am lactose intolerant. While I have had to give up some much-loved recipes, we have discovered that most can be modified to accommodate the changes to our diet. Most of my recipes say dairy free but there are a few from my childhood that may have dairy! I also have an intolerance to MSG so we spend a lot of time reading labels. Usually, it is just easier to cook from scratch, so we don't use many pre-made foods from the grocery store.</p> I like recipes I can make with minimal ingredients, real food I have in my kitchen, that are also easy to make!
