Easy strawberry cheesecake parfaits I know it’s winter here in Australia, and we’re all craving lovely warming puddings, but yesterday was such a lovely day. Despite the cold morning you could have been forgiven for thinking it was summer, so I decided I wanted to celebrate it with these beautiful Strawberry Cheesecake Parfaits.

Enjoy! Strawberry Cheesecake Parfaits Begin by making the crumble.

santa hat brownies « daisy's world Aren’t these Santa Hat Brownies just so cute? Thanks to Erica’s Sweet Tooth for the inspiration. I was looking for a fun and simple holiday treat and I ran across a recipe on her website.

You can use ready-made brownie bites or bake a pan of your favorite brownies. Update: November 17, 2013 This year, I plan to bake these Santa Hat Brownies and other holiday treats to give as gifts to friends and co-workers.
