This is a traditional Albanian rice pudding, its my grandmothers recipe and its so good! The rice cooks with the milk which makes it even better in my opinion, if you like you may add raisins to it or leave as is….

For crust:
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1- 1/2 cup ginger cookie crumbs or graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter
In spring form pan, spray with non stick spray. Combine the sugar with cookie crumbs.
Press down the cookie crumbs with melted butter, form into crust.
Mix 1/2 cup boiling water with 1 pkg of mango gelatin; cool.
In mixing bowl beat cream cheese and sugar till well blended, then add cooled gelatin, and mango pulp/puree. Combine and mix well.
Pour filling over crumbs, chill in fridge for 3 hours.
In a 2 cup measuring cup, mix the other box of gelatin with 1/2 cup boiling water, and cool with 3 ice cubes till melted. Will be jelly texture, pour over the cheesecake.

Strawberry Shortcake
Strawberry shortcake….no not the character even though I totally love her since I was kid! I mean the dessert! What can possibly be better than fresh strawberries, whipped cream and a soft light cake? It screams summer is here!
Strawberries are great when in season and local makes them even better! The smell of fresh picked strawberries is just amazing, I wish I could bottle it up! I also wish the season lasted longer here…but its very short in fact too short…most areas near me have them only available in June! I do at times find Ontario berries at the grocery store well into July if I am lucky!

Candy Popcorn

Pistachio Mallow Salad
Another treat that I liked when I was a kid was this pistachio mallow salad, not sure if it’s because it’s green and what kid doesn’t like green food, or because I loved anything with fruit and marshmallows!
