It's been 100 years since Woodrow Wilson signed the proclamation creating Mother's Day on the 2nd Sunday of May. Today, it's an honor to celebrate mine
To one of two people who have known me at my highest highs, at the deepest lows, and still love me anyway. There is no one with a spirit as genuinely good, genuinely beautiful, and genuinely kind as hers
Thank you for all you've been to me, but most of all, thank you for being my friend
Happy Mother's Day, you're such a good one I love you more than you know
This evening, as we enjoyed her company over a good game of Scrabble and a glass of wine, pink frozen cheesecake will be close at hand.
With a raw crust, a filling of mascarpone cheese and Greek yogurt, along with lots and lots of berries. It's not only beautiful to look at but healthy and light for a dessert. There is no added sugar, dates sweeten the crust, honey in the filling.
Any fruit combination would be wonderful; the entire dessert can be easily be whipped up in the food processor and put away to freeze.
I know I say it often, but this one; this one you need to make. You really do.
I wish for all the Moms out there the happiest of Mother's Days. Thank you for who you are and all that you do
Enjoy!
xoxo
