I had about a cup worth of strawberries left from the season, I did make a cobbler last night with strawberries and rhubarb and what was left of the strawberries I decided to bake something instead of freezing the rest! I did get to make some freezer jam with the other quarts of strawberries and that is what I used in these swirls, that is why the jam is noticeably fresh and bright!

I had hoped to make these with ricotta but didn’t have any and was not leaving the house in this weather! I did have Philadelphia cream cheese and so I thought it work and I was right, it did work and tasted great! My mom and daughter Sara went crazy over them! Trust me when I say these two are the pickiest people around! It was a great compliment to me that they enjoyed it so much! 

When I was a kid I I used to go home for lunch, but on some days I would stay and on those days I would find a little treat in my bag! It was a strawberry flakie! They were my favourite! I just loved them! My friends would wanna trade in with there snack…but I wouldn’t budge…no one was gonna take my flakie from me….it was all mine!

I would search the house to see where my mom would hide them…and when I found them I would sneak in the back room and stuff my face before anyone caught  me! Which was often since I was the only child…no one to tattle on me!
