Olivia made this colorful Red, White, and Blue New York Cheesecake for Independence Day this year! She says, "This was pretty close to perfect-tasting, in my estimation."

Olivia also tells about a second cheesecake, which she made two years in a row for Father's Day. "Everyone loves it!" Here is a link to Olivia's Cheesecake, featuring a unique pretzel crust and lots of peanuts. :D

And finally, Olivia sent me the recipe for this Trifle which she made for her sister-in-law's birthday. Besides raving about how yummy it was, she adds, "...it's perfect for summer too, because it's chilled and light"! If you like fresh fruit, and easy no-cook summer recipes, you'll definitely want to try this one!
